[QUOTE="Brent, post: 32060, member: 99"] One 3 shot group at each OAL at 1000 yards isn't going to tell you what you want to know instantly. It may tell you what one was NOT worth looking at any longer IF you're sure everything else was consistant, including MV ES for the group. I would look at vertical more than anything, and take two or three groups worth at each OAL along with you. MV ES will kill you with that bullet at 1000 yards in wind and verrtical both, so watch it closely. More rounds fired the better. Do they give you sighters? If not, note the temp and BP when you go shoot and record the drops, then again before you leave for the shoot that day. Look at a ballistic program to figure what MOA difference there will be from the change in air density or you could get seriously hammered from this alone! Shoot with your barrel fouled the same way and near number of rounds each time for consistancy. When's the shoot? Good luck! [/QUOTE]
