[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2367542, member: 42157"] Welcome and enjoy the information put out. Any animal at 4-500 yards is a good poke and well past what probably 80 percent of shooters can put a bullet exactly where they want it. Nice work and shooting. Try things and make your own decisions as there are a lot of opinions and beliefs that may or may not work for you. Long distance to me is very dependent on the animal and cartridge....especially the cartridge as I want a certain velocity/energy on target. Coyotes with a 223...starting to get long range at 400yds. Ground hogs with a 7mm STW....starting to get long range past 6-700yds. Deer, Elk, with a 06....+600yds,......with big magnum +700yds. Muzzle Loader....250-300yds. Bow....past 80yds. Edit....I never dial unless I have to. If my scope has a reticle to allow a aiming point I DON'T dial....even out to 1000yds or so. Why mess around doing anything other than reading environment, getting comfortable, and just making the shot? If they have a standard duplex I only dial when I have to, and usually have a very large MPBR zone starting out. I had to dial my farthest antelope (800 yds even because I intentionally found that exact distance) the rifle (300 RUM 180BT's at 3400) has a VX3 6.5-20 standard duplex from the early 90's and 800yds was well past the MPBR to estimate drop accurate enough for me.
