[QUOTE="Brent, post: 42823, member: 99"] I went shooting the 308win at the gongs on saturday. I made it to 700yds with a new load. Groups were slightly over 1moa all the way out. 9" at 700 in about a 25 to 30 mph headwind that was at about 11 o'clock. It took about ten rounds to get on the gong at 600yds, couldn't tell if it was windage or elevation. I was only following a round about chart for my other load so I wasn't sure. I finally made a hit, 1.5' right on the other gong. Well, one adjustment and I was in the center. After 10rds on each of the three gongs I repainted them and went to 700yds. This time it only took 3 or 4 rounds to get on the steel. The wind had died off a bit so I held the same as I had at 600yd. It was off just enough to completely miss a couple times. I figured my elevation was close enough so I held over a little more each time. Bingo, bottom ctr. I decided to wait for a calm day to go out to 800 and 900yds. After that I think the bullets will loose stability judging by the speed they're starting out at. Well I got the chart figured out for a good practice round anyway, at least out to 700. Too much fun!! [/QUOTE]
