Good work Lever-hed. Thanks for replying. Your reply was not only useful it provided some genuine mirth at the end of a long day. Pretty funny. I have already started searching up your suggestions. Very Useful. You can probably read between the lines but just so it's clear; I never...

My next big game rifle will be a .416 Rigby. Sorry. I think it qualifies for Long Range big game.

Next I'm wondering if there are any comprehensive books out there which can give me a solid overview and an in-depth lesson on the maths of barometric pressure calculations, milradians etc. I know the gagets are very good but I want to condition my brain a bit. I love calculus and maths and I...

This seems to be the stuff I was missing. Thanks 101. I've always hunted at or very near sea level coming from the flattest continent on earth. I'm headed to high country in august. 6000 ft down to sea level with glaciers near by and an average daily low of -1C or around 30.5F. This will be very...

Need advice. I intend to zero my rifle at 300 metres. Next I will set up very large cardboard targets at 100, 200, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, and so on out to 1000 metres. These targets will be large enough to capture the bullet. If I measure the drop and mark it so I can see it...

The total truth is it doesn't matter. Both have their application. My current scope is a Night Force NXS in FFP with an MRAD reticle, MLR2.0 to be precise. It suits me to prefer MRAD calibrations. I'm traveling to New Zealand to hunt Thar and Chamois in August; very cold. The long shots will be...
