[QUOTE="esshup, post: 1715769, member: 11101"] I agree with what many have said already. 1) Let the gun barrel cool down. If you can't rest your hand on the barrel right in front of the scope, stop shooting, it's too hot. 2) Double check your shooting form. On my LR gun, I turn the scope down a bit for 600 yds and I can spot my own impacts thru the scope if I stay into the gun starting at 600 yds. With my LR practice gun (.308 Win) I can spot my own impacts thru the scope starting around 400 yds. I was at the range with a buddy once and he didn't have data past 300 yds, and I had left my ballistic calculator at the house. We had to walk the bullet out to the 1K mark from 500 yds, I could figure the drop from 300 to 500 but after that I was lost. By shooting at every 50 yds and noting the bullet impacts, we got him on paper at 1K. I will be interested in hearing how this weekend range session goes for you. One question, after you couldn't hit the rock at 647 yds, did you come back to 400 to check group size and POI? [/QUOTE]
