[QUOTE="jmden, post: 309449, member: 1742"] Not sure if you're asking me or ME. I've only shot the 240 out to just over 1K. Haven't shot any other MK. With a 240 doing 2940 MV and a hard hold (no brake) I can barely spot my own shots at 1K if it's a dusty hillside. Shot some steel and milkjugs a couple of days ago. Steel at 880 had two out of 4 within 2.5 in of center and just left--ele right on. The other two shots hit, but I wasn't fond of feel of them as I pulled the trigger--about 6" off. Worked at jug at 816 and it stayed safe--couldn't spot my shots at that distanct and the milkjug was just in the shade so hard to see the hits anyway. Working on consistent prone form. Then shot a milkjug at 1017 yds. Fist shot skimmed just over the top, right over the middle. Second nailed the jug nearly dead center after adjusting down .25 MOA from what Exbal had reccomended. 2-3 mph 3 o'clock wind at my location--a bit stronger mid canyon and a wind switch somewhere as the dust on the far side of the canyon was not going the direction I thought i would've. Alot to learn about wind. Shot a couple of times at a jug at judged 1008 (Leica 1200 wouldn't get that far in the sun) and went right over the top middle a couple of times, then aout of ammo. Still working on my getting my prone shooting position 'feel' as consistent at possible--that time of year. [/QUOTE]
