[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2913656, member: 101791"] That will work in setting up targets at give distances. Shooting at least 3 round group. I mean group not something like a shotgun. Note what elevation at 100yds is. You'll need a larger paper or longer paper to show where the bullets are hitting. Log those point in. I did that a great many years ago. With my 25/06 out to 500yds. At the same time I made target that were or about the size of a deer. I use and still do use a 2x 8 dulpex scope. I learned where to hold that scope crosshairs at different rangest on the target for hold point. to shot and also to determine range that the deer was at. If your are shooing different rifles, but the velocity in the book is showing the same. That bullet path will almost the same. Now I hold my shots to 500yds and I never missed at those extend range. Not a real long shot, but not bad either. I use the duplex scope on 8 power to range with. See how the target filled the scope up. Out to 300yds I just used the crosshair on the middle of the deer, At 400yds I would elevate the crosshairs to top of back. At 500yds I place the heavy part point at the top of the animal back. In the 400 and 500 yd my grouping was about 4" below the top of the back of the animal with those holds. [/QUOTE]
