[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2899320, member: 9299"] A couple of points. We did and do scale drifts to scaled reduced targets and caliber/loads. Some 22LR's scaled well for shorter range drift training when compared to a 308 Palma or other at 800, 900, and 1,000yds. The main factor is TRAINING in hold, trigger break, follow through, wind, etc, for it is geared toward "training the mind" to calc the changing winds regardless of caliber or BC used. That translates to any caliber used with a simple change in ballistics. Its [I]"mastering the process"[/I] that is important. (Edit: If you think hitting small targets at 300yds+ with a 22LR is simple, then try mastering 2 MOA plates in varying winds at those ranges) We use the 223 with VLD's at MR, 500-700, and LR, 800 to 1,000yd+, for the very similar purpose as above, and it is also used in the 600 and 1,000yd F Class category. These training calibers and choices are designed to support training with larger and more expensive calibers/loads. Being able to shoot 20-30 times more, often much more, with the cheaper and less barrel burning calibers is great practice for when the bigger boys are placed on the line. Having used this for many decades, I can only say it works and it not only greatly improved my scores and hits on distant game/targets, but also it has helped many youth we have trained. YMMV [/QUOTE]
