[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2587659, member: 27307"] While the military thinks 10x is enough for shooting at longer ranges, some of us actually need a bit more in order to shoot well at 1,000 yards. "Some older..." Most of us use the ammunition and bullets which we choose to shoot at the longer ranges, not just what we have on hand. Different bullets and the loads they like will shoot differently. Try a VLD bullet and see where the POI prints on the target. If you want to use the same bullet for both target and hunting, the Berger 175 gr. Elite Hunter can work well. Berger suggests a 1:9" twist rate for full BC but you will only lose a few BC points in your 1:9-1/4 twist rate. Lighter bullets such as the Accubonds or the ELD-X might perform well also. For strictly hunting the Partitions are excellent. I have used the Badlands 150 gr. but these need a faster twist rate so you can't use these. Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
