question answered
ok, after reading several ballistics for dummies, I learnt that maximum ordinate is beyond the midrange. Hence, 2/3 the distance makes perfect sense.
Should have thought of this earlier, as the bullet slows down, gravity and air friction have more effect.
I'll just have to take it that wind at 2/3 distance dominates over any propagated deviation from wind at muzzle. Now back to reading flags and setting the scope to see mirage at 2/3 range. So much for toss-grass-in-the-air method.....living and (always) learning.
