[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1435061, member: 10291"] [B][/B] Different shooters can have their own testing protocols that serve their own particular purposes. In my case I have used the same LR rifle/load, for seven years. The first year of ownership was spent perfecting its performance. The next six years were spent mastering this rifle. This rifle is completely understood. It’s performance has been tested at elevations from 150ft to 6000ft, temperatures from -5F to 85F. Shots have long been recorded hot, cold, clean and dirty. Changes in POI from prone, sitting, etc are known. Each year a tall test is performed on the scope and my rangefinder tested. Since acquired it has accounted for 50+game animals shot from 165-1188 yards with the average distance being 585 yards. Every shot taken with the rifle is recorded. I take the same approach with my other purpose built rifles9competition, etc.)....just different performance criteria, and conditions testing. One cold bore, and a second shot is taken at 200 yards(zero) at the start of each season. This zero check from last October. [ATTACH]96766[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
