[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 51631, member: 34"] Hello Brent Yes, it has always been an interesting topic. With the rapid reduction of velocity downrange, the difficulty level would certanly be more then 10X at 1000 yards as compared to 100 yards. There are just too many varibles to overcome from at least the 400 to 500 yard mark to 1000 yards and much further . The further out you send the bullet the difficulty level RAPIDLY increases because of the forces at work such as ANY wind and the slowing down of the bullet. At a 100 yard zero the bullet is on it's upward part of the arc (forces don't effect it that much) and crosses the arc at around 300 yards coming down. When shooting 1000 yards the bullet has been coming down from a bit further then mid range being around 600 yards. The forces have a much better chance to effect the flight of the bullet in this segment of it's downward flight/fall to the target. Taking everything into consideration, 10X more difficult at 1000 yards as compared to 100 yards would be way low in the difficulty level. Even 20X may be very low. Something to ponder Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
