[QUOTE="Misfire, post: 59727, member: 3509"] Thanks for the reply. I spent a day at the range this past weekend. I shot on the one hundred, two hundred, three hundred and five hundred yard ranges. The temps were around 40 degrees and there was a 10 O clock wind in the 12-15mph range. My windage "dubbs" are far from acceptable at anything beyond three hundred yards, but the elevation was right on. Extreme spread was mostly horizontal lines. My 5 shot groups were less than 1 MOA at one hundred yards. At two hundred yards my center to center measurements were two inches. Three hundred yard groups were in the 4 inch range and five hundred yard groups were in the 7 inch range. This was my first trip to a long range (more than 100yrds) and I can say that it will not be my last. I know that my accuracy needs to improve GREATLY at longer ranges before shooting at game, but hopefully I'll get there with some persistance and pratice. A few questions if you will.... How do you convert extreme shot spread into MOA at longer ranges? My scope is 1 MOA elevation and 1/2 MOA windage adjustments. With a dead on 100 yard zero I'm good to two hundred yards. I'm three clicks up at three hundred yards and nine clicks up at five hundred yards. How do I figure out how many inches of drop at each range? Is there a regimen to getting the best from my range time? I need to learn almost everything from the ground up, and I want to get started off on the right foot. I can see that it would be easy to burn a lot of powder and time getting nothing from range time. Any advice?? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
