[QUOTE="dakor, post: 667150, member: 2204"] The answer is simple because it is not easy to do you will have to try it yourself to know what you are asking. I have been trying this test on and off with different rifles. My conclusion is I do not care what ballistic program you are using, what barrel, bullet, and caliber you are shooting. Your bullet will not fly the exact same today as it will tomorrow and the next day at 1000 yards and every 100 yards past 1000 yards it gets worse. There will be a difference and how much of a difference will depend on the conditions meaning the temp, humidity, pressure, wind, and mirage. Now add in the human factor of how do you feel that day? Is your mind clear? Are you in the zone? Did you break the trigger just like you are supposed to? If it was easy to do the 1000 yard BR guys would have it down by now and would not need sighters they would get to the line dial up and shoot. I would say a high percentage of long range shots past 800 yards are not a one shot one kill let’s be honest about that some require a correction and a follow up shot. I am not saying it cannot be done or has not been done I am saying past 800 yards a high percentage are not first round cold bore hits. I would be willing to post my results over the course of the summer since I will be shooting this shot anyway but it would be on my own time and not for any contest, money or bragging rights. I did this test at 600 yards all summer long last year and I shot 1 to 2 cold bore shots a week. After having done that I feel I can make most shots at that range under most conditions.
