Well it's 108 in Tucson and in the mid 80's up in Elk country and we have 8-10 more days of this heat wave. 86 up in unit 10 and 9 today.First time I recall getting rain from a Tallahassee land fall.
It's light here, thankfully.

It's been crazy hot . I'm headed up tomorrow to park the trailer in 6a for my turkey hunt. Probably should have just left it up there when I was up to help on the archery elk hunt.Well it's 108 in Tucson and in the mid 80's up in Elk country and we have 8-10 more days of this heat wave. 86 up in unit 10 and 9 today.
I was out yesterday and shot at 784 and 1183 yards. Wind call at 784 was 2.5 MOA and I hit just above my circle. Wind at 1183 was fast and flat, and I estimated it at 12, but when I put it in my SIG, it said to hold 5.5 (or something like that). It didn't look like a 5.5 wind, so I held 4.5. I hit about 3.5 to 4 inches right as you can see. So what? I can't do it 90% of the time, and neither can anyone else. Apparently that doesn't matter to a lot of you. I can count with one finger the number of videos on LRH that have shown hitting an animal that wasn't recovered; perhaps I am wrong.
I recorded the wind speed yesterday in the desert; pretty typical afternoon wind. To make a shot as long as the OP, you must nail the speed within 1/4 mph. The TOF for this shot approached 3 seconds. The wind is changing more than 1/4 mph almost every second.
Thats .308 territory. A 168smk takes 3.2 to hit 1500 yardsWhat are you shooting that takes so long to get to 1200? My big gun gets there in 1.4 my little gun 1.7.
I was talking about a 6.5 creed at 1507. I calculated TOF using factory published ballistics and JBM Ballistics. The shots at 1183 where a .338 LM shooting 285 ELDMs at 2850. That particular shot was 2870, and when I saw the velocity, I thought I was going to hit low, because at that range, that is often the case.What are you shooting that takes so long to get to 1200? My big gun gets there in 1.4 my little gun 1.7.
So, I see all of these posts about caliber choice and balistics. No where in the OP does it mention ANYTHING about caliber and speed. Not even on the first page.
Where did you guys get the cartridge and speed info from?
Would sure like to see the video!!!It was in the video, which has since been taken down.
