Math problem:
If you first spot a Drone directly overhead and it is flying at an elevation of 300ft, going East at a speed of 60 mph, and the Wind is blowing from the Northeast at 5 mph ....

1) How much do have have to lead the drone with your rifle for a .308 caliber FMJ bullet in order to knock he gd thing out of the friggen sky and into a gazillion pieces?
and.....
2) Do you have to allow for windage deviation? Or can you ignore it due to the average heavy grain of a .308 FMJ bullet, and just allow for the lead?

And assume you already have your rifle and it's locked and loaded as you've been hoping to see one of these JBT gubmint spy toys for a while now.

Oh, for Extra Credit: What's the Name of the JBT sitting back in the control room playing with his joystick?

:-)

I cuold use a .308, but I don’t need to lead anything at 300 ft (100 yds.) if I break out “Ole’ Painless” (.50 cal)

About 100 ft., and hold just a little to the north, mebbe 6 inches or so...

Nah, that'd have missed by a mile...

Ten feet should do it, .12 seconds of travel for the round at 2500 ft./second to go 300 ft., .12 seconds of travel for the target at 88 ft./sec, puts the target 10.56 ft. further downrange, not allowing that the shot is along the hypotenuse of the triangle.
