[QUOTE="brant89, post: 2251306, member: 49553"] I spend the months leading up to the hunt shooting single cold bore shots at my 400yd target (my personal range is only 400yd) once or twice a week and I never paint the old impacts. That way I can see over the course of a couple months where every shot landed and keep track of what I did wrong if one was errant. I clean the rifle a couple weeks before the trip and make sure there are at least 15 rounds down the tube to ensure proper fouling but no more than 50 rounds down the tube (accuracy drops off rapidly in this rifle somewhere around the 150 round mark). At the hunt area I verify my zero and drops as far as possible. I will also try to shoot my 22BR trainer rifle every other day to add trigger time without the expense of feeding my 300WM. I shoot farther whenever possible but it’s hard finding longer distances around here when the crops are still standing. [/QUOTE]
