[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 1076147, member: 6452"] Assuming you live somewhere near San Luis Obispo than Sequioa Nat Forest east of Porterville is more like 200 miles away. Screw shooting ranges go find a steep ridge (no shortage of those in Sequioa) and test your load. I luckily live in the foothills at 2000' so I'm only an hour away from either as high or as low as anyone can really expect to shoot in the USA. I try practicing from field positions at various altitudes as much as possible. Out to 600 yards it doesn't make much difference in pretty significant temp/elevation changes. With most flat shooting cartridges inside 600 yards the error is likely going to be less than the typical 1/4 MOA scope click anyways. I have the Custom Turret tapes on my .308 and they are a great inexpensive way to try out the system. I plan to eventually replace with a Kenton engraved. Any of them are only as good as the data you put in them but the Kenton has much more of a cool factor than the tapes. [/QUOTE]
