[QUOTE="Snyder97, post: 1599748, member: 108609"] [B]First of all: Why does someone even ask something like that?[/B] In many European countries, there is no possibility to train long range shooting very often. Most shooting ranges have 100m and 150m targets. Of course, there are some shooting ranges with targets up to 1000 Meters, but they are usually not opened for civilians. Maybe once or if you're very lucky twice a year, these military facilities are opened for a competition and most of the time only for a limited number of participants. Most countries just don't have long range shooting stands you can visit regularly. Hunters and shooters are very restricted by law as well. Zeroing your rifle in the forest? Forget it! Trajectory validation in an open field? Not allowed! (Depending on the country.) Now Imagine: You're on a hunt. You see your trophy of a lifetime at 600 Meters (no wind). You absolutely have to take the shot because it's not possible getting closer. Hunting season ends tomorrow and you haven't shot anything yet. At the end you don't take the shot, because you don't know if your ballistic calculator is right and you don't want to injure the animal. Do you guys feel the pain? Oh we envy the american people and their freedoms. [B]To the question:[/B] Let's assume I have a 24" 1:10" 300 WinMag hunting rifle. The ammunition manufacturer published the bullets MV with a 24" 1:10" barrel as well. I give my StrelokPro sight height, zero distance, pressure, humidity, temperature, BC and MV from the manufacturer. Would it be realistic to hit let's say a red deer buck in his vitals without having done trajectory validation? How accurate are ballistic calculators when fed with the manufacturer BC's and MV's and how far can I expect it to be accurate? I'd really like to extend my shooting distances up to maximum 600 Meters. I do train a lot. But only at 150m. [/QUOTE]
