[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 780385, member: 4191"] Never said anything about not being able to shoot and develop field measured dope at long range. I'm saying it's not a readily available option for me and others to shoot rocks at 1000 +yards at the variety of elevations and temperatures we plan to hunt. Of course a person has to shoot at long range. It's part of the load development process for any serious long range hunter. It's nice if a person can shoot and measure long range drops at the same location, under the same environmental conditions, where the trophy game animal presents. As mentioned earlier, it's even nicer if I can set a target up and practice where the animal will be standing sometime after taking the practice shots and taking the target down. For many of us, that's not as convenient as it is for others. I don't often get the opportunity to target practice in the mountains where I hunt in Alaska. Your methods may work well out to 7-800 yards under the conditions you practice and hunt. But the intrinsic errors of guesstimated MV and BC will become more troublesome at longer yardages and under variable elevations and environmental conditions. [/QUOTE]
