Very true
No point zeroing at 100 in the english counrtyside and land in iraq and think the variables are the same
This is why we build what we call our telephone book its a recording of all our shooting
Distance
Wind
Temps
Height and position
Our ammo is batched so we use the same always...
Hi hi
I just dial everything unless you dont need too but zeroed at 100 and guessing 450 is to hit and miss for me
I get everything you say
I zero my 338 at 175 and its good to 325 with no dtop at all
I suppose its all to do with trajectory
If your pushing the velocity then your flat
Light bullet going quick
Or heavy bullet going slower can even bounce off the moon for me as long as you can do it everytime consistently

Hi hi
You always sight in at 100 yards this is part of the basics of markmsnship
Gives you a recognised distance to build your skills at breathing and control grouping
A good spotter is essential as a beginner
To call the shots
Of course you do go back and record grearer distances...
I agree every barrel has a sweet spot
Bullet weight
Velocity and barrel lenght
Moderators
All make a difference
Mine loves 165gr but spits 150gr all over like a drunk using a spitoon

The 308 does to...
