[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1053451, member: 11717"] Once your load is worked up and rifled zeroed in, shooting to 600 yds won't be very difficult. If you zero to say 200, you'll probably want to shoot 300, 400, 500 and 600 to confirm your drops. Once you have good velocity and BC with confirmed drops, you should easily be able to memorize your adjustments out to 600. But you'll probably want to shoot to confirm zero and drops every year before hunting. You'll probably also want trigger time to learn to dope and adjust for wind. If you shoot a 100 rounds a year, your barrel should last at least 10 years. 50, 20 years. If you load up say 50 rounds and use 40 to check zero, drops and do some trigger time, and leave 10 for hunting, then shoot what's left over after the season after the season, you can start with a fresh 50 the following year. Shooting to 600 isn't all that challenging but wind will be a factor and nothing beats trigger time in learning to dope and adjust for it. [/QUOTE]
