[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 241673, member: 2011"] Finally got a windless day. In fact, three of them consecutively. How often does that happen in Idaho? Got to shoot on the last one. Shooting 277 140 NABs @ 359989 RPM @ muzzle with ~330000 @ 773 yards. 200 yd zero is spot on the POA. 773 yard POI was 3/4 MOA to the right (~5.8"). This was with zero/zip/nada wind. The group size was ~0.3 MOA. The target is now sitting out at 1007 yds awaiting another windless day' Holey crap, I read that article. My next question is does Exbal or any other ballistics software automatically compensate for the two subject drifts. Or do I alway want to sight in and hunt up in Lemhi Idaho which is pretty much half way between the equator and north pole.:rolleyes: Then, do I want to always shoot north? Or is it south? I think I'm getting the vapors.:( Also I think it may be better to have a rifle that shoots for crap and limit the distance to 300 yards:D A fella could cut way back on the "nice" pills.;) [/QUOTE]
