[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 688529, member: 13833"] I did my first long range shooting today at 1000 yards. I used the 215 Berger Hybrids today because I figured that is what a lot of you might use and I didn't have any SXR's made. My load was 79 grains of H1000 for 2970 fps. I zeroed the rifle at 100 yards and ran a printout from JBM using Bergers listed b.c. of .696. I was shooting from a saddle and the wind was gusty and variable so conditions were a bit tough (which is good practice)! I used a bypod and sandbag on top of a stump. It wasn't the most solid but worked ok. My first volley was on the right edge of the target and two of the four shots missed so I didn't know what I had? I noticed that the wind was quite different as you got closer to the target and was more left to right (about 9:00) and stronger than I thought. From my position, it was quartering from behind me, approx. 4 o'clock, and much lighter than the majority of the bullets path. I made a correction based on my first volley and sent 4 more downrange with 2 moa left windage. Three of the four shots were just left of the bull in a six inch group and the fourth centered the three inch bull. The four shot group was 9". What I was impressed with was the vertical on the four shot group was dead perfect by just dialing up what JBM gave me. I'm anxious to get back out in some good conditions as I know I can do much better......Rich [/QUOTE]
