You had mentioned in a previous post the elevation you are shooting. I am curious to know if when you are taking these longer shots if the are shots at an angle up. I ran into something similar after a couple of trips to my shooting location where my dopes were off. It was a duh moment for me...
Make sure you remember that the 'touch number' will be different for different bullets.
I have used the method above in the youtube video with a lot of success. It is not as tedious if you have a micrometer seating die too.
I have had quite a few discussions on this topic and there seems to be a consensus that a Kestrel (with the applied ballistics) and a chrono are almost a necessity for LR shooting.
Of course, you can spend hours and hours behind the gun trying to dope, learn wind, building a manual ballistics...
SOLD
As the title says, I am trying to sell my 7saum. Its a perfect time to pick this gun up and get everything ready and dialed in before the hunting season this fall. You can have a custom gun without the extended wait times.
Sale does not include the scope and rings shown in the pictures...
I think any of the big names mentioned here will build a superior rifle. They are all masters of their craft.
The only thing I would do is call the shops who you are leaning towards and find out what their lead times are for a build. I would choose the guy with the quickest turn-around.
If you go through Salt Lake City, there is a good gun store in downtown called Gallensons. It's a small shop but they can squeeze a lot of guns in that place.
