[QUOTE="scsims, post: 659954, member: 9755"] I finally had a little to no wind day to push it out to 828 yards. If you remember my last shooting session was at 700 yards and I did pretty good keeping 3 groups under MOA and didn't have a hard time getting on target. All shots landed with in the silohette. 828 was a little different story i think the 168 gr SMKs out of my 308 are starting to show why people switch to the 175 at the further distances. First I tested the 100 yards zero to make sure everything looked good. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/scsims/IMG_2374.jpg[/IMG] With the 100 yard zero on mark me and my 2 boys 7 and 10 years old went next door to shoot the furthest possible without finding a new farm to shoot at. So we were able to get 828 yards. The first 3 shots only one hit the target with 23.9 MOA up and 2 MOA of wind left. I was about 1.5 MOA low and 1 MOA right. Wind was variable from nothing to 5mph. I adjusted to 25.3 MOA up and 3 MOA left and the next group I was able to get all three on target 2 were 2 inches of each other and the other was 10" to the left as if the wind stopped when I pulled the trigger. The last group I fine tuned a little more and was able to basically center them on the silohette in a 6 3/8 " group. My 10 year old shot some as well, he hit the silohette in the head twice!!
