[QUOTE="Drummer1818, post: 1349909, member: 103048"] Hey everyone I am extremely new to long range shooting/hunting. I just recently bought a savage .338 Lapua mag 110 BA stealth and I have a few questions. Some of these questions may seem really stupid but like I said I am brand new to to this, take it easy on me. 1: when I've done some research I have seen many ballistics charts for long range. In these charts I have seen numbers such as -1.2,-3.8,-6.1 etc. I do understand that these are the numbers I am indexing into my scope. ( I am using mrad) my question is the -(negative) part giving me the drop the bullet will experience or is it telling me I need to index down 1.2 mrad in my scope? 1a: so for longer ranges am I going up in my scope or am I going down? 2: what is the best belistics software for making these data tables? 3: What is the best wind and weather meter that is affordable? 4: what is the best all around bullet for deer at 300 meters or elk at 1000 meters 5: Is there anywhere to buy unused .338 lapua namebrand brass (all of my local stores and midwayusa are back ordered) Thank you so much!
