[QUOTE="paphil, post: 456399, member: 17745"] The link to Sniperhide is really a great test. It ought to be noted that the holdover at 600 yards is about 9 min or about 54 inches (when 0 at 200). When you go to 1000 yards , the hold over is about 24 minutes or 240 inches(7mag at 3000fps). That is about 5X the 8 inches at 600 yards. So if 5 degrees gives you an error of 8 inches at 600 yards, it equates to 54 inches at 1000, 1 degree of cant at 1000 yards is more than 10 inches ! That is as much as spin drift and is about the same as a 2 mph wind. I always set up my targets with a level and am amazed at how many people tell me my targets are leaning . A scope level is a must for any serious long range shooter. [/QUOTE]
