[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 218557, member: 10"] With my 338 AM using that load with the 265, I use the NP-R1 reticle for hold over set on 11x so there are 2 moa between each reference line. I have my rifle zeroed at 300 yards for my environmental conditions typical for fall big game hunting in my area. With that zero, a 1000 yard shot is a dead on hold on the 6th reference line down from the main crosshair(12 moa). With a 100 yard zero it would be just short of the 9th reference line(13.75 moa). The amazing thing is how quickly it gets there. There is not much recoil at all with these rifles and our slab muzzle brakes but at 1000 yards, you better have good control of the rifle to get back on target before the bullet impacts. Hard to believe but they get there FAST. The best thing is that your still dealing with 2600 fps and 4000 ft/lbs of energy at this range and only 2.25 moa of windage at 1K with a 10 mph cross wind. Like I said, you get SPOILED quickly with this level of performance. [/QUOTE]
