Slugs and wind

[ford_shooter]

ok heres the situation. Lets say ya got a deer buck or doe out a 75 yards and is broadside. Theres also a sharp 20mph wind thats going left to right. My 1100 is sighted in dead on at 75 yards with Remington Coppersolids 2 3/4. How far will the slug drift at the range or even how far will it drift at 100 or 125 yards

I would go with a inch or two tops.drift at 75 YDS. it's not to far.300 yards becomes trickier.Sabats cut through wind damm good because of the fast spin.

Well, since a 1 oz. slug is 400+ grains, and its doubtful that a shotgun/slug is capable of firing better than about 2" groups at ANY reasonable range (And I consider 75 yards the absolute MAXIMUM shot with s slug gun, 50 yrds is more realistic), the effects of anything short of gale force winds should be neglible.

I put a new re-dot on mine this year, started at 25 yrds to get it sighted, moved out to 50 any there was no real change (horizontally or vertically) and this was on a pretty windy day.
