[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 653291, member: 13"] Shot the the 284 Win today at our church steel shoot some: 400-1150 yards. It shot real good! One thing I discovered is that I kept shooting high. Came home and added MV until it matched my drops at 675 and 1150 yards. Currently working with a MV of 2759 with the 168 SMK. Further confirming of drops will likely end up tweaking the speed/BC some more until the drops are hardened. Also, used two different shooting rests for use when hunting in the seated position. I was able to get out consistently out to 675 yards. I did miss a couple of times at the further distance, but out to a little over 500 yards it was pretty much a sure thing with both designs. I am pretty excited over that. At 1150 yards I didn't use the tripod rests, but went prone with a bi-pod with both the 284 Win., and the 7mm SAUM XP's. Hitting with the SAUM got boringly fun. Since I was shooting high with the 284 Win it took me a while longer, then I was out of ammo after I smacked it several times. [/QUOTE]
