[QUOTE="dukxdog, post: 2495378, member: 45856"] I am a "minimalist". I am a strong proponent of the "KISS" method. "Keep it simple stupid". I only shoot my hand loads I develop for my rifles. I'm not a technical long range shooter. I do shoot my appropriate hunting rifles out to 600yds mainly for if something is wounded getting away. I have never taken a first shot at game over 450yds. Most my kills have been well under 300yds. I bought this rifle specifically for shooting 600yards because of the terrain of the Marco Polo I hunted a couple years ago. I actually shot my distances in 50 yard increments out to 600yds. I used a ballistic calculator for longer distances. I found the calculator to be consistent with my actual shot distances. I had Custom Turret Systems in UT make my turret tapes. This works perfect for me and my methods. I have a Kahles Helia RF 7x25 rangefinder which compensates angle into yardage. In my hunting situation I don't want to take much time figuring all the data to make a shot. Distance and angle compensated distance is all I use. After that I set my turret for the shot. Everything is right in front of me. I did shoot my rifle one shot at 100yds while walking the first day out. That's all I need to be confident in my rifle. It's never been off after flights or travel. I always only hold my binos. I've never used any over 10x that requires a tripod. I use a 15-60x spotting scope after the animals are found. We all glassed the cliffs and mountain sides. I shot prone using my bipod. [/QUOTE]
