Hi all,
I have only been shooting long(er) range for a few months with a .308win I setup for this purpose. I am running 168amax at around 2700fps. I have yet to take it hunting (deer) but am planning to next month. Probably realistically limiting myself to 600m at this point.
I was wondering what people would recommend as a good practice routine to make sure I am confident of cleanly taking an animal within the selected range?
Also, when in the field (hunting), do people normally re-check their zero and take a few trial shots prior to the hunt? Is the ´line up on a rock at x range and let off a shot´ a good approach, or does this merely confuse things?
Cheers,
Matt
