[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2386582, member: 103947"] I agree. That said, a magnum won't reduce mirage. I have the same issue being close to the great lakes and shooting in hot weather with full sun, seems mirage is always present and no glass will tame it. It wrecks shooter accuracy and makes it tough to get the rifles potential. Even the 6.5/7mm non-magnums make tiny groups on paper at a mile which I'd say is ELR. As I complain about mirage, I've been known to do the same when the wind gets gassing. When I can find days that have low mirage and low wind, I love shooting the non-magnums at those ELRs. When wind starts getting cocky, the big Mags come out to play. It's amazing how my heavier 7mm bullets having the same ballistic coefficient as my heavy 338 Lapua improved bullets but the Lapua just seems to keep the bullets all on the target. It goes against the whole BC, Velocity game but it is what it is. I prefer magnums also at the ELR distances 90% of the time. [/QUOTE]
