[QUOTE="shooters, post: 478933, member: 7769"] Well, not sure what you mean by long range techniques. Using an old Burris Signature Scope to test with, a very sturdy lead sled, 200gr Accubonds were chronoghraphed.... light loads only pushing 2992fps....rounds were tested out to the 600 yard range holding zero on center dot everytime on 8' high home made ply wood. Measured out drop in inches from zeroed 200 yards. Shot 2 shot groups at each yardage holding zero wating 5 min between groups to cool down. Zero wind. 200 yards.....0.0 250 yards.....2.5" drop 300 yards.... 6.8" drop 350 yards.....12.2" drop 400 yards.....18.4" drop 450 yards.....27.0" drop 500 yards.....37.0" drop 550 yards.....49.2" drop 600 yards.....61.2" drop Leupold VX3 B&C was then planted on RUM. Using Leupolds guide, we matched the bullet drop, speed, and weight to the correct "group" chart that came with scope. Scope was then zero'd at 200 yards. Testing began. 300 yards was 2" low. Too much for my likings. 400 yards was over 4" low. HUH??? My rounds shot high in inches compared to their "Leupold" chart during the Burris testing. How in the heck was it low? 450 yards was 6" high. HuH again? One extreme to the other. Should have been dead on or slighly high. Not 6" high. 500 yards was 8" low. How. I should have actually been slightly high on most. Tried to get it to work over and over. Just didn't happen. Called Leupold. They said it was just to get you close.....kind of a refrence. Scope just didn't work for me. Also, looking for a scope out to 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
