[QUOTE="Down Under Hunter, post: 185359, member: 8486"] Shawn, You wanted me to keep you posted with how my new rifle is coming along. Well here is the latest from this afternoons session. distance is 1029 yards. Below is a 4 shot group with 300 smk from a DE 338 edge. Group was shot off harris bipod and rear bag. Conditions were Alt 569 ft BP 29.2 RH 71.5 Temp 77.5 I got ready to go and pulled out the PDA and Kestrel. Guess what ? Flat battery on the PDA. So I think to myself fire a sighting shot and adjust for a group. I take a guess at the dope and dial 24 MOA up and fire. Keeping in mind I had never fired at a target anywhere near this far, but feel confident based on how I had been shooting. BOOOOOOm , whooosh Clang !!!! MAN !!! Holy smoke !! Straight into the circle centre mass. Three shots later this is what I had. See below... [IMG]http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/huntinghellsaroarin/targets18108014.jpg[/IMG] The 4 shots are the red ones ! Group size from side to side from centre point of strikes is 3.75 " across and 3.5 " top to bottom. The first time I have ever shot at 1000 yards . Cant get the smerk off my face !! One question though. When I came home and fired the pda up and put all data in NF exbal came back with 26 moa up, not the 24 I dialed ? Can anyone suggest what I might need to do to get my actual drops agreeing with the PDA ? To get the moa to match I put 2930 fps instead of 2830 ?? This post is to illustrate how good a class rifle can make an average marksman. Cheers to you Shawn. As I always say... God help the deer Down Under !! DUH [/QUOTE]
