[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1410596, member: 101677"] It’s up to you really, but once you verify your dope it should be repeatable. If you want 1st round hits get a kestrel so you can dope the air density and wind. I have an 18” gong at 1k, with fresh paint I can see my hits and I strive for 1st round center hits. I’m going to add a 6” gong this summer to better represent the vitals of an animal. Since you listed your rifles, just a suggestion, if you load 215bergers, 208eldm, or the new 200gr smk, in your savage 308, 42gr of varget will get you close to 2500fps. Run the dope, but it’ll out perform your creed at 1k [/QUOTE]
