Thread: Any neat tricks?

This is how people miss quite consistently once your dialing. If you are shooting a 162Amax at 2200ft/sec, you have gone a bit extreme on the whole process, to your detriment. The ability to beat wind is great and you will shoot gongs all day like that, but the trajectory is still a bit limp for practical hunting ranges. I say this as the aficionado of heavy and slow for chambering projectiles.

You run into exactly what you have run into, 300m is too close to be shagging around and you don't need to dial. Just know your reticle. Have a look at my Ode to the 22LRF thread, where I am using traditional sighting in (what @Husky1600 describes) with an ordinary reticle, but being as fussy as you would be setting up to dial to 1000m. I'm knocking over game at silly ranges now.

Dialing is for further out. There is too much pressure on at closer ranges to get it right and you need too much elevation correction for that rifle. You basically turned a 300m shot into a 600m shot.

I don't know your scope, but if the turret rises with elevation, you can put a horizontal mark under the turret cap at your zero.
