We need to have a good pow wow about all of this techo stuff one day Stu because I am the sort of guy that doesn't give a toss about how fast a bullet goes or how heavy it is. All i give a toss about is that it hits the mark. On the new rifle, I proved to myself this morning that I need to spend a lot more time behind it just shooting the thing before I try to wring out too much from the performance of it as at the moment I am way too rusty at just plain shooting for accuracy. With the deer I never care whether I hit the heart in the left ventricle or the right atrium but as I am finding out shooting targets, that couple of inches makes a fucking big difference so I need to tighten up like a sphincter.Quote:

You have an 800m range at your house don't you? I think you will be a pro by the 29th
The way I am going I won't have gotten out that far by then but i will keep going.Quote:

Like barefoot said, chrony good if you can't make a real world drop chart. Whats the factory ammo your using, should have velocity specs on it, rough but will get you close at distance with a spotter.
I can give you a hand on some things if you like Rushy, I do alright out to 900 with the 308. I'm off during the day and on weekends. Can do 100m at mine.
You to RushyQuote:

Thanks for the offer I am sure I will benefit from all of your input but I want to have one more go at it by myself (as I am sure that a lot of the problem at the moment is just about my having time behind the rifle)Quote:

I'm in the same predicament at the moment. Haven't shot any of my rifles in quite a while now. Hopefully I can recall how to work them and let a couple of in the next few weeks. See what neighbors animals are up to
i havent got a rifle yet but am very interested in getting into this long range thing,can i still came along,watch and learn? cheers
I'm sure if it's alright with el b and everyone else between savage1 and myself we could let you put a few down the spout. Up to the organisers though.
I don't see why not Mayfly. That is exactly what I did last year. Even had a couple of shots and got hooked.Quote:
