[QUOTE="Benchrest Braxton, post: 2665658, member: 117782"] it amazes me the amount of negativity coming from a forum of supposed long range shooters (who should understand the math and sheer difficulty of a shot like this) so for his shot, 1mph of wind = 26 feet horizontal deflection the final elevation input was 1,092 MOA. That is 88,539 inches in holdover. If we convert that, that = 7,378 feet, 2,459 yards, or 1.39 MILES OF HOLDOVER. If you do the rifle cant error calculation on that, 1/10th of a degree of cant = almost 13 feet of horizontal deflection…..insane i'm really curious now of the maximum height ordinance of the projectile. I tried running a computation in my kestrel but it maxed out at 5,500 yards. I'm estimating that the bullet was a minimum of at least 2,500-3,000 feet up in the air at one point, maybe more. When you consider those things as well as all the other variables, 69 shots seems like a very small amount of shots to hit the target :) I understand in relation to smaller distances that is alot of shots for an impact, but the degree of difficulty is massively more so than even a 2 mile shot.
