[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2214864, member: 10291"] In my early days of LR hunting, using cartridges with a G7 BC of .3 and MV of 3000FPS I used a simple correction off of my baseline of 4500Ft(altitude) and temperature of 45F. Over a range of 500-1000 yards 1-2 clicks (.25MOA per 1500ft change in altitude, and the same or a bit less per 20 degree change in temperature. This approach was generally sufficient for hitting the vitals of deer sized game at distances from 600 to 1000 yards…given a bit of practice/experience. The more exacting measurements of today’s Ballistic calculators surely enable the capability to extend the range, and/or hit smaller targets. [/QUOTE]
