I suspect the actual drift for us duck hunters is less than shown, given that we are shooting larger shot than the #8 in the chart

My old high school physics is now suspect, but I think the answer is "No, or very minimal" Perhaps drop would be influenced by aerodynamics, but I don't know which shot size would be worse.

Higher maintained velocity would result in less lag time and less drop for large shot. Wind drift would be less because of pellet weight and higher maintained velocity. I don't know why anyone would use #8 shot in an experiment at up to extreme yardage.

And it also depends on what kind of shot you're shooting. In a high wind, steel shot is blown around much more than something heavier. I've seen that fully illustrated, it's bizarre but true.

When I shoot steel, I shoot heavy loads of #2 and BB in ten gauge guns. I'm not too concerned with wind drift up to 50 yards, or up to more if the wind isn't blowing too much.

Remember well that the chart starts at "30mph crosswind. That's one heck of a continuous cross wind (unless you live in Wyoming). In most circumstances the wind will not be directly a cross wind. That seldom happens simply based on the law of averages. If your out there in 40-50mph winds, you've got other things to worry about
