[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 959885, member: 41122"] Whenever i have more distance than i have rangefinder i set up a shot i want to take and then park my truck somewhere in the middle. Then i range the distance on both sides of the truck for the overall distance. When its not a straight shot i use a compass and trig out the overall distance. If elevation is present take that into account as well. I got out to over 1k with a bushnell 800 with this method before investing in a better rangefinder. Now i dont have any experience with the lapua bullets your shooting but ive taken the 185 berger out to a mile and they were ok but with a mv of 2600 they went subsonic a little past 1200 and groups easily opened to 1.5-2 moa if not larger and everything i shot past the trans sonic region was always low about a minute or two. As far as a mile i was just bombing them out there and looking for splash. Pretty much anything pushed it off course and i never shot that distance a lot, because its just throwing bullets away, but i imagine elevation would be different every day you go out. Ive also shot the berger 215 out to 1810 and they do way better through the trans sonic region than the 185, i still cant read the wind good enough to make consistent hits. On the bright side a 4+ sec flight time gives you plenty of time to spot your hits. [/QUOTE]
