[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 3915, member: 25"] S1, Borrowing one of your terms, my "real world" hunting distance is out to 650-700 yards with my .308 rifles. Even at this more modest long range I have found that I am best served by shooting drops and using actual field measurements. I have large 2'x4' sheets of 1/2" steel plate that we paint white and can see bullet impacts very well on. Your point about relative air density factors is a very valid one, we hunted 1500 feet above where we did all our zeros and one rifle's point of impact moved up 1.5 minutes. Resulted in a clean miss at 505 when he tried to spine a buck - hit about 7" higher than anticipated. We had our data but blew it on that one, lesson learned. Re-zeroed and he broke a spine at 530 on a mulie buck. [/QUOTE]
