[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 467411, member: 13"] Thanks guys! The ammo I used: Remington Club XTRA (manufactured by Eley LTD), Federal Gold Medal Match, Federal Champion. We were shooting on a 1200 yard steel range that is just outside Chuck's shop, Mac's Gunworks. He has a backer for paper targets at 100 and 200 yards. Steel starts at 200 out to 1200 yards in 100 yard increments. First, I had a sloped picatinny rail made, as I had this put together with distance in mind. Second, I am using a 30 mm tube Leupold LR/T. Third, it has Holland's ART reticle in it [url=http://www.hollandguns.com/]Holland's Gunsmithing & Shooters Supply[/url] Click on Advanced Reticle Technology. Holland' reticle is my favorite for LR shooting. MOA is internally listed in 3 MOA increments, with a dash/line every 1.5 MOA. This made it very easy and fast to get on target when not knowing BC or MV. Then once I got to 24 MOA, I dialed from that point on, using the 24 MOA line as my aiming point. When going to 500, if I run out of MOA adjustment, I will add Burris Signature Zee Rings (can put on 20 MOA there) or have a another sloped rail built. Shooting distance (after doing your homework and getting your shooting system put together correctly) is more of an issue of what you believe you can or cannot do, than what can actually be done. You have to be willing to fail to succeed in what many believe to be impossible or highly unlikely. [/QUOTE]
