[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 704462, member: 47325"] I don't chrony my loads that much. It means I have to shoot more to generate the needed data for dope cards (oh no's the horror), but I've had the same rifles for so long now that I pretty well know what to expect from a given combo well enough that I can get to within a min or 2 just walking it out at known yardages. For example I tried out the 95gr Classic hunter in my 243, and tried Kirby's load development. This my round count from the first round fired of load development, settling on a load and getting sighted in for that load to checking drops. Round #18 first round hit on a 10"gong at 50, #20 1st round hit on a 6" gong at 600, #21 I blew it with the wind and cut the cable holding the 500yrd gong:rolleyes:. That was today as well, I have to admit it was entertaining watching through the scope as the right side of the gong fall. :D [/QUOTE]
