[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 397143, member: 22242"] I know this is a very complex subject, or so it seems. I am kind of intimidated by it becuase it is a game changer for me. I am fairly novice to long range i do pretty well out to 800 yards but I am in the process of building a 338LM and I want to be as informed as possible. I see people talking about load base and running different numbers figuring out g-1 and g-7 bc and this and that. Lots of stuff I do not understand. Is this all in an effort to have the absolute best info possible when getting turrets cut? is it a bench rest thing? I know you can get you velocity and bc and give it to leupold and they will cut you some turrets. I know the manufacturers given b.C. is relative to rifle and conditions, but couldnt I shoot a few different ranges and plug those numbers to correct the BC and have a very accurate turret made?I am interested in shooting up to 1500 yards effectively. I know I can have someone like cloud peak gunworks do a ballistic profile with my rifle then he will make me turrets. Can someone please break it down for me is it something i need to get familiar with to maximize my effective range? Thanks [/QUOTE]
