[QUOTE="ejg, post: 1600563, member: 12381"] The best investment I made and possible many years too late was a chronograph. Now I can shoot cheap ammo in the 223 and hit fox at well over 300m. My 300wm is with 178 a-max seems to shoot well out to 900m, shot one deer above 700m and a few at the 400m mark. With the 308 20" I try to stay well under 500m because the 168 a-max seems run out of steam a bit. It is actually astonishing how well the data at least on the 30 cal A-Max 155-178 I have used seem to be. Then again I have over ten years experience with these three. Not sure if it is wise to just shoot at an animal without a few long range check shots if the drop is OK. I like to have my zero very well on, (I can shoot 100m in the garden to check) like the group to be under 1/2". Checking drops is not easy as wind plays a role, meaning I take longer range plinking sessions in as info and compare with different locations / shots with different wind. Can't change drop chart from one longer range target. Luckily I have a farm close by where they want me to chase away crows etc. There I can shoot at things out to around 800m. Great to learn to judge the wind. Especially if using the lousy BC of 223 50gr AE ammo. We in Ireland are lucky in that we can use suppressors which allow more shots closer to houses etc. edi [/QUOTE]
