[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1673480, member: 9281"] You need to forget about shooting at close range unless that's all that's available. You can find tons of info on the web about bullets needing to "go to sleep." This happens in the first 300 yards or so. I learned this lesson years ago with Berger VLD's, it's better to tune your rifle at 300 yards or more. Groups may seem large at 100 or 200 yards but who cares? Berger has an article on that as well. I just tuned a 30 Nosler yesterday at 400 yards. At 200 it's around a 1 MOA gun. At 400 it's .5 with 1" of vertical. Just shot drops at 810 and 1114 yards this morning, scary accurate with less than 2" of vertical in either of those groups. Again, don't get hung up on anything inside of 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
