[QUOTE="257Tony, post: 2057940, member: 67337"] Well, ,y 28Nosler needs about 200" of elevation at 1000, so if I lay my rifle on its side (90 degrees), I'll miss by 200" of windage. That works out to about 2" per degree. Pretty easy to be off 5 degrees and not know it, that would be 10" at 1000, or about 6" at 600. Did you watch this video? [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BCCqlZMhEw']Why Every Rifle Needs an Anti Cant Bubble Level - YouTube[/URL] The bubble being just outside the lines causes a clean miss at 1000 on a very large plate. I've done plenty of my own tests with my rifle, shooting in the areas I hunt, eyeballing it, vs using the level. Even with 25+ years of being a carpenter, I can not get it right at extended distances. Probably could do it if I had flat horizon to go off of, but in the high mountains, nothing is plumb or level, so using terrain for reference just doesn't work. [/QUOTE]
