[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 3058097, member: 101791"] Yet, but at 50fps it's about 14" @ 1000yd or so. How many people really get their ES & SD really down. 30fps is about 8" @ 1000yds. Bottomline is know your load and it's going out where you want it on a cold shot. After that it's petty easy. Wind becomes the hardest to figure. I don't reload to do it quickly, I reload to get bullet placement. Yes the range time is improvement too. That really learning how you bullet flys through the air. Before range finders were worth anything. I came up with tragets size tha used the animal size from top of back to bottom belly. I used a duplex scope. 2x7 or 8. On full powder I could determine it the animal was 300, 400 and 500yds out. ES & SD don't make much difference @ 500yds anyway. No twisting the nobes, just where to hold the crosshairs at those ranges. My rifle POI would be about 3" lower from top of back in each 100 yardage change to 500yds. With the rifle it's learning to stabilize it and don't jeck the trigger. Cool Hand Luke! [/QUOTE]
