[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1724105, member: 12443"] Realize that just a very few years ago this entire conversation wouldn’t be taking place. Yet lots of people were very successfully shooting long distances. Charts were made and confirmed by actual shooting at the various distances. Then that information was passed along among friends, or in some cases by the gun builder to his customer. Not saying that was better, just saying that it worked, because it required everybody to shoot in order to find out for themselves. Simply leaving ammo in a vehicle overnight when temps might go below zero will affect the information you have. And with some type powder more than others. Simply leaving a round in a hot chamber due to firing for a period of time could affect a shot. Regardless as to what we hear and read this is not an exact science, Serious long range target shooters always confirm their information by using sighter shots, even if they shot earlier on the same day.
