    Pretty happy. Went for a walk to rifle range and group is just over 4" low. Adjusting to Litz's .703 provides about the right correction. Can't wait to have another shot at 600y.

    First thing I do with a new scope is set up a grid at 100 and measure the actual adjustment from the maximum dial up I expect to use hunting, which for me is 700 yards.
    Just dialing the scope, not shooting so that I can mess about until I'm sure I have the right answer. Then I write the answer on the scope and put the adjustment factor in "Shooter".

    March scopes are notoriously good trackers to said values

    Yeah I can confirm @Kelton comment - scope tracks really well. 2 shots (cleaned barrel each shot) and was zeroed at 100y before testing 600y.

    Resighted at 100y (target) with bipod on and then tried 400y (gong). Bang on. Storm came through so 600y another day.

    Barrel cooler at @Gerardo made for me. Tube goes in a case and fan blows air down the barrel. Works really well with such a pencil barrel on the Kimber.

    What a brilliant idea, great for load development at the range with limited time

    2 shots off Backlanz bipod this morning. 1st high 2nd lower. Orange dot is 6" from memory and looks very small even at 20x on the March. Using .703 BC @ 15degC.

    Might try a 162gn ELDM load now.
