[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2931958, member: 116439"] I just saw a show on the beginning of Battleships from the early 1900s. We as long range shooters should be in AWE from what BALLISTICS was learned in the early 1900s. Early Battle Ships could shoot a projectiles the weight of a modern vehicle 20,000 yrds AND HIT! They had to calculate the movement/position of the firing ship to the distance of the target ship and also that position/movement. They had to calculate the Distance, Spindrift, Humidity, Wind, Barometric Pressure, Coriolis and then velocity of the 2,000 lb projectile to hit at 20,000 yds. There were no computers back then! Now today we can shoot a .338" 300 gr bullet to 2,000 yards with the help of advanced computing power in LabRadar, Kestrel, Range Finders. Information from years gone by from Battle Ships helps us shoot today. [/QUOTE]
