[QUOTE="Broz, post: 534772, member: 7503"] Great post Bryan, It helps me out alot. Some other thoughts I need to try and confirm. Please feel free to debate these too. My first thought was to go into Shooter where I pick my load for my rifle and simply add a second bullet curve for beyond, lets say 1400 yards. I could probably slightly adjust the velocity and bc to fit the extnded LR shots. Example: Berger 300 Gr Hybrid Gen 2 Berger 300 Gr Hybrid Gen 2 1400 to 2000 yrds. Also, I should add I have been using both spin drift and the effect of coriolis for a large percentage of these logged shots. I have over 250 rounds of the .338 Gen 2's alone down range and have logged much data. Although my success rate on first round hits have made me smile, I see room for improvement. I say this because I seen a pattern and started adding a small correction of elevation from past experiences. Example: I logged these shots as "called for" (CF 45 moa) (actual 46 moa) and marked the correct elevation with a star. So being a doubting thomas I am. I want to reshoot a majority of these shots with out coriolis added and also on the flat as some were shot at as much as 16 degrees up hill. I just want to make sure that the small error I am dealing with is truely a function of a curve problem and not an error added by the programs correction for coriols or look angle. I agree that this topic is for only a few shooters. I also agree that 1400 yards is a long way to engage game and my personal limit is not far beyond that. Conditions would have to be steller, and field of view around the animal would need to be open. My main mission here is not to extend my hunting perimeter. It is to challenge my skill level and this will greatly improve my closer shots as well. Bout time you spent some of that moldy money and bought a good RF. I will take on part of that blame for a few members here buying PLRF's. But you will thank me for it later. But, my friend, you and the folks at Berger have given us a bullet that is much more accurate and predictable at these extended distances. Now I am spending money too as a new door has opened. So , Thanks! to you Bryan, Erric , Walt and the others at Berger too. Jeff gun)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff [/QUOTE]
