[QUOTE="C Knappenberger, post: 58721, member: 3482"] I am new to the forum and long range shooting. I have a question regarding the "dial in" method of shooting. I have only used the hold over method while deer hunting but reading several of the articles in this forum, knowing the exact range and dialing it in is the most accurate way of hitting what you are aiming at. What is the best way to begin practicing at long range. Is it best to start your zero at 100 yds and use a bullet path chart for the given load that you have (new to reloading as well)? Or is it best to have your zero at 200 or 300 yards and go from there? If I am zeroed at 100 yds and let say my bullet drops 12 inches at 300 yards(just threw in a number), I adjust my target knobs according to how low I will be hitting at 300 yards, correct? So if I am 12 inches low at 300, I would need to lower my cross hair 48 clicks? I shoot a Savage 110FP in .25-06 with a Tasco World Class 4X16X50. I just bought the rifle wanting to extend my range and shooting capabilities. I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I appriciate any advice you have and I am happing to be part of this forum. Knappy [/QUOTE]
