[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 475851, member: 24624"] I salute Paul and all of the experts who've contributed to this thread from which I've learned a lot. Unfortunately, everything to do with modern rifles, scopes, and ammunition is about tolerances. ..not to mention my own inability to accurately measure and judge atmospheric conditions. As such, I'm often amazed at just how predictably I can shoot out to 1k. And, it's mind boggling to think that some of you guys shoot more than twice that far. While it's not imperative that I know the perfect BC to get dialed in, it is hugely beneficial to the long term improvement of shooting sports that people continue to split hairs and think critically. Perhaps some of us will live to see the day that one can purchase a rifle off the shelf and attach the optic of choice and shoot the X ring at 1k without having to bore sight or collect dope on the rifle? Until then, realistic mfg G1 and/or G7 BCs are the best tool we have prior to squeezing the trigger. Those makers who consistently publish unrealistic BCs do so at their own peril. thanks! richard [/QUOTE]
