[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 357259, member: 13632"] I spot for my dad every once and a while when shooting BPCR at 1000yrd and learning how to call an elevation change can be hard when the bullets are dropping in. We need 130-140 MOA to reach 1000yrds and the bullets will actually land behind the target giving the impression that you are hitting when you actually need to drop it down. The SMK will have more resistance to air flow in the front of the bullet which will make the rear of the bullet destabilize and start wobbling or be real sensitive to any bumping in flight dropping them in front of the target. I think :rolleyes: My dad was shooting a bullet design that would drop a few right in front of the target every once in a while then just changing to a bullet style that had a better nose profile that move the center of gravity and drag back towards the rear of the bullet straightened them out very well and it took a bunch of MOA of his trajectory. Some BRCR guys actually use three different bullets to shoot a match, one for super sonic range one for inside the transonic and one sub-sonic, you can cover all three ranges in a weekend of silhouette and longrange. I wish I had something better than sagebrush and snow to pitch bullets in, your set up looks about as fun as it gets for this kinda thing! [/QUOTE]
