[QUOTE="Brent, post: 33352, member: 99"] I hear ya. Maybe I'll get to see if that load will hold 4" at 1000 today. Wind kicks me in the *** more than anything. Mirage is something I'm learning more and more to read. It doesn't seem to be to awful bad up here compared to what many guys report in other areas of the country, mostly enough to just see what the wind is doing downrange. Getting already to fire from 700 yards the other night, late when wind had calmed down to 1-2 mph at most I figured, I was now getting ate by the bugs and in a hurry to shoot the last ones with no windage dialed when I looked through the tube and saw wind flowing from 10-11 o'clock from 200-700 yards. I shot with zero dialed anyway just to see how much it related to at 700 anyway, knew I wouldn't be off by much. I was 2" and 3" off with the two shots, with a 1/2" vertical between them. The part I hate most is not being able to identify each shot's placement on the target from my shooting location. I think I'll work on getting four 12" wide by 20" high, 3/8" thick AR400 steel plates to hang side by side touching on my 1/2" pipe frame, for a 20x48 inch impact area. That would set me up for a long time to come. Easy to see impacts when painted white, as the paint usually comes off in a 1 - 1.5 inch circle. [/QUOTE]
