[QUOTE="dogdinger, post: 239320, member: 9616"] i think everything has been covered pretty well here, but i wanted to add a real-life story. i am a wet behind the ears neophite when it comes to anything past about 800 yds. my LR rig right now is the aforementioned 7RM. i am shooting 160gr AB's @ 3050. during the first elk season here in colo, i ranged a bull at 1193 yds, i have my rifle dialed in out to 1000yds and feel pretty comfortable at that range so i thought , what the heck, if the circumstance is just right i am going to dial for 1K then use my milldots and hold over another 3 ft and try a shot. I passed on the shot, but when i came home i looked up on JBM what the drop would have been from 1K to 1200....WOW was i surprised! the bullet drops almost 13ft in those 200 yds!!!! my next building project is gonna be a big boomer.....thinking the 338 edge will be about right, no matter what trshooter says.
