[QUOTE="toddc, post: 595550, member: 4566"] hard to believe in this day and age that there are shooters unaware of the profound effects atmosphere has on ballistics. Most common reason I miss at LD is weather not wind. A 300smk cooking out is pretty easy to wind shoot. BUT miss the atmosphere by a bit and its a miss. Of course Im talkin about 600++. And if you dont think there are common 2nd round opportunities at long range you havent done much of it. Ive killed deer at 1300 that an idjit at 800 had shot at 5--6 times. I shot a coyote at 2500 m/l that I shot at 8 times. It actually spotted for me by looking where the bullet hit. My rangefinder wouldnt stretch that far so I put it in my palm from the section lines and walked it in. Any system can work. The horus reticle is probably the best for wind and speed of use. ANY SYSTEM NEEDS WEATHER INFO or you might as well shoot a burris bdc out to 700 and be done. [/QUOTE]
