[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1555406, member: 9299"] "Totally proficient". That means very different things to different shooters. IF your equipment and loads are up to task, then your technique must become very consistent, AND you must learn to read the wind and other environmental factors. One different approach in burning a lot of ammo to learn these ever changing factors at range is to shoot an accurate 22LR at reduced but ballistic comparable ranges and scaled targets. This allows one to learn wind drift, shooting technique and critical follow thru. Also, it saves on barrel replacement and ammo cost and allows for the usage of shorter ranges. Many decades ago, we used, and still do, this training for Palma matches and 1,000 yd practice. Drove our scores way up! This drill can be utilized with 223/5.56 loads using VLD bullets at 600 and allows for far more wind SWAG practice with much less barrel erosion and reduced component price. Then when you are consistent with either of these, switch to your LR rifle and watch the difference. Enjoy your new adventure. [/QUOTE]
