[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 2275622, member: 108138"] That’s interesting. So do you think with adjustment to the BC in my calculator, it will hold true out to 1000 now? I know the only way to tell for sure is to shoot. But I only ask because I do t have a dirt backstop. I put my steel plates in front of hat bales and that makes it really difficult to spot misses. I also usually don’t have a spotter to help me see misses as well. I agree, 1/4 moa isn’t something to get worked up about. But at 525 I was a little over .5 moa high. Realistically, I probably won’t shoot at game past those ranges, so it’s still a dead animal. But I’m always pushing for perfection. It will be interesting to see what happens at 800+ yards. Thanks for everyone’s help. This is really my first foray into long range shooting. It’s been a blast so far, and I’m happy with the results so far. [/QUOTE]
