[QUOTE="degreen, post: 1531945, member: 88909"] I have gathered a lot of information concerning long range rifle set up. I am shooting a magnum so I don't want to shoot my barrel out trying to get my ballistics soft ware to fit my load. So far this is what I have learned. Please tell me if I am missing anything. 1. Find best load by loading in .5 grain increments. Then work up and down in .1 increments from best group to find best load. 2. Shoot .1 increments over crony to get velocities. 3. Enter all variables in ballistics ap. 4. Set at least 3 targets out with a minimum of 300 yards distance a part. 5. Input each range in AP shooting a minimum of 3 rounds per target. 6. Measure actual drop on each target. 7. Adjust velocity and BC to fit actual bullet drop. [/QUOTE]
