[QUOTE="ShooterMedic, post: 644311, member: 19045"] First off welcome to LHR, you will find every thing you need right here. Let me ask some questions: First off where do you call home? Do you have enough room to really shoot that 338 Lm to its capable ranges? Are you after game or targets? As already stated, consider getting a smaller caliber to practice with, say a 223 or 243. They are MUCH cheeper to shoot and are still capable to make those long shots. It will also help keep your fundimentals sharp. You cant be fliching on a target at 1200 yds and expect to hit it. Then when the moment counts you have the 338 LM to make the shot with. Not to metion a 243 does alot less fur damage then the 338 LM on coyotes. As for equipment a kestral 3500 it is very easy to read and use. I have the Ballistic fte, ballistic computer for my Ipod give it a look if you are not happy with yours. From what I have heard Both are very accurate. Also as bogger01 stated a chrono is a must. A rifle data log book is another thing, to keep track of shooting conditions bullet loads and speeds and, ranges and MOA adjustments. It will help you fine tune your ballistic calculator. Good luck and keep us posted to your progress. [/QUOTE]
