[QUOTE="BillR, post: 380305, member: 462"] I have two rifles I shoot LR with quite a bit but to date I haven't spent much time on shooting paper which I really need to do but I just seem to find more time to shoot PD's than I do paper. Rifle #1 is a Kimber 22 SVT with a Leupold w/Stoney Point Turrets 6.5X20X40 Rifle #2 is a Remington 541 HB with a Nikon UCC w/Turrets in 6.5X20X40 Both are very accurate rifles with Wolf TM ammo and 100yd MOA groups are very easy on a calm day, and I mean little or no wind at all. Kick it up to 10-15 and forget groups. Especially if its a variable wind. Go any higher and forget it altogether. One thing I do a lot of and that if forgetting about the paper except for getting the gun shooting pretty much dead on giving me a starting point and then walking the shots in on PD's This works even in the wind unless its too variable but once you get close then its just using a bit of Kentucky windage. Its a whole lot more fun trying to hit a PD at 400 than paper at 200. I keep watching your thread to see what your getting for drops so I can work it into my data. Gives me more time to shoot Pd's rather than paper that way. :) [/QUOTE]
