[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 361883, member: 20245"] Alright good, and it's not so much sight in distance, but 1moa at 100 yards translates into 2moa at 300 3moa at 300 in a perfect world as you say. But in the real world 1moa at 100 even with expert wind reading skills will be significantly bigger at 900 or 1000. Have you chronoed your load? Your going to need extremely low ES and SD to make a shot like that. 25-30fps even if you do everything right you can be high or low on a critter of that size. Just ran in in my ballistic calculator. A 210 VLD at 2900fps drops 210.6" at 900, a 210 VLD at 2930 drops 205.7" and that translates into a miss on a coues deer. I believe hitting one at 600 is a real achievement. 900 yards... I'd be a little uneasy. Not trying to be a party pooped but just show you what your dealing with here. If you can, shoot 200-300yard groups to see LR performance, 100yards isn't as good of a measure for LR performance. Good rule of thumb is what I said earlier with the paper plate. Once your have your dope for different ranges, go set up some paper plates randomly between 300-1000 yards and go back and forth shooting at them and recording hits and misses, then you'll have a good idea of how far you can shoot.I believe a coues deer's vitals are smaller than a paper plate however, that rule is usualy for whitetail. Good luck with your hunt! If you have any more questions I'll try to help just post here or pm me. -Oliver P.S. Sounds like you hunt a pretty awsome area, here in Va it's a real chore to find a spot to hunt LR. [/QUOTE]
