[QUOTE="steelshooter, post: 567542, member: 34212"] I decided to try some 208gn Amaxs in my 300WSM as other people are having success with them. My Tikka shoots 1 MOA for 5 shots. After entering all the necessary data into the Shooter app on my phone I went out and set up a big target at 700m. Fired 2 shots which were 1.5 MOA high, so made some adjustments to my data. Fired 3 more and elevation was spot on and 3/4 MOA group, although 1MOA right. I then put a target at 900m,fired 1 shot, went and checked and it was low and right by 2 feet. An elongated hole. I went back to the firing point and used the mil reticule to hold over for a couple more shots, and then went to check it out again. No holes! While packing up the target I searched the ground a little for impacts close by and found a projectile stuck in a fence post 4 meters to the right! How can it be so far out when the wind was consistent 5mph and also from exactly 12 oclock? I have always struggled to get hits on targets past about 500m. Am I missing something critical? [/QUOTE]
