[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1683102, member: 104268"] I could run through the JBM web calculator and make spreadsheets, but I'm hoping I could get someone else to do the work... Contemplating buying a cheap bolt gun with cheap scope that eats cheap ammo, that can sling lead to 1,200 yds...Except at 1/4th the distance. A ballistics miniature so to speak. Criteria... 1) Cheap. 223, 22LR, 22WM, 17 HMR, etc. I'd need it to be half the price of a quality reload for a big rifle (300 WM, 270, 30-06, etc) to justify a whole rig just for practice. 2) Easily available in a rifle that can [I]roughly[/I] simulate the mechanics of shooting a big dawg in field conditions. 3) [I]Most Importantly, something that will [B]Accurately[/B] [/I]simulate the ballistics of a big rifle by some easily divisible factor in range. Essentially, wondering if there's anybody who wants to calculate this out for their favorite big rifle, post it here for the masses. Dream... Sitting at the range, shooting from 100-300 yds for $0.31 per round, and getting the wind calls, drop calls, etc to closely simulate my favorite 300 WM load ($0.90 per round) at 300-900 yds (or some other easily divisible number so the training sticks) [/QUOTE]
