[QUOTE="jdmecomber, post: 1302568, member: 94549"] Here's some more stuff that I think about. Let's say your zero is off at 100 yards by .125". At 1000 it's approximately 1.25" Also let's say you do ok with your reloading and your max velocity spread is 25 fps. Not even talking about factory ammo ;) Your shooting a 7 mag with 168 vld at 2968. You have a 25 fps hotter round at 2993 fps. Your drop at 1000 with some random conditions and zero at 2968 is 249.32 inches. At 2993 it's 244.50 inches, that leaves you with high shot at 4.82 inch. Throw in some max scope error of 1.3" Improper zero error. 1.25" Ammo extreme spread 4.82 " Just this max error of 7.37" Now your trying to hit a 10" plate at 1000 yards, and we haven't even calculated anything else. Just the kind of things I think about Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
