[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 696756, member: 2011"] Here's some stuff regarding development of my Hide #1 spot. Ranges can be from 500 to a bit over 1400. Have developed/shot to the 1177 mark thus far. Odds are that the "opportunity will come @ around 650 or a bit over 1k. Maybe this year, the elk will favor me as this is my closest hide. #2 is only moderate distance, #3 is a right fur piece! Shooting the 270 Allen Magnum. 169.5 Richard Graves Wildcat RBBTs. Chrony says 3400 but Shooter says 3075 FPS MV and bc of 0.7. (I'd really like to know why I can't match chrono vel w/Shooter vel! Have never been able to do that with any of my rifles and bullets. Here's a range chart of drop validation distances.

This time with someone else doing the shooting. Less than a month and it's for real. The elk are bugling back behind the house. Why don't I just go there and shoot one?:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
