[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2214305, member: 101791"] Depending on what you are after. Personally I like to chronograph all my loads at the range. If you don't that fine, but you won't really have an ideal as to what the bullet is going to do at longer ranges. I want to know what my bullet should be doing and it is doing at different yardages. I can at the time of shooting longer distance, see if the bullets are doing what is shown in drop formal or not. I have found in the pass the BC was stated lower that what they really were. My grouping was about 3" higher that what the charts called out for. Adjusted my BC and it trued it up. It gave me better down range distances. Bottom line I want to know everything I can, on how my rifle and loads are preforming. The other is having a range finder in your pocket while hunting. Close shot no big deal, but at longer ranges it is. Is it 300yd or 350yd. It also depends on what scope you are using too. [/QUOTE]
