[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2299851, member: 10429"] Well I finally got back out for some longer range testing but before I did this, last week I pulled the stock off and replaced the trigger. Its a trigger tech special set to 1 pound and its a sweet trigger. I also made sure my scope was exactly level with the gun so I had to do some rezeroing. After getting it zeroed on paper I then started scouring the horizon for something a lot father to shoot. The only thing I found was a outcropping of rocks at 1305 yards. It was a little long in the teeth for what I was searching for but I set up and checked my dope on shooter and Applied Blist app to compare the 2. Both were right at 47MOA up and with the wind it was 3.7 hold to the left but it was gusting and calming back down. Tried to dial that much in my scope but don't have it. I was able to dial 38 MOA in the scope and then hold 9 MOA on the reticle. Scope was zoomed up to 18 power and that seem to be where the hold overs are correct. I tried holding for the 4 MOA of wind but I was guessing since I don't have the tree type reticle. After 2 shots that hit about 15 to 18 inches to the right I realized that I should just dial the windage. Rechecked the app and where ever the data comes from it had changed to 2MOA.
