[QUOTE="adam p, post: 90055, member: 5164"] About a year ago I had my 243 win. rebarrled by Shilen. It is a Rem 700 BDL. I had Shilen put a 26" 7HV contour barrel with a short throat ( 65 grn Shilen BR bullets) on it along with a 1.5# trigger. I put the action in a McMillan A3 stock. I feel like this set-up is capable of shooting long range as long as it isn't to windy. I have already read on this forum to not completely trust ballistics programs, so I plan on taking the time and shooting and recording the zero at various ranges.The main thing I am having trouble with is figuring out how much to move the scope ( Nikon 6-18 with target turrets) at various ranges. I know at 100 yards it is 1/8 minute, but what about out at 4,5,600 yards and so on. I have been trying to figure this out and it is racking my brain. I found this forum and it seems like ya'll know what you are talking about so I figured I would ask before my head exploded. Also how far do ya'll think this gun is capable of shooting.
