[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2200992, member: 68875"] I regularly shoot long range steel, at least twice a month, with several different rifles each day. My drills are start at 580, and go out to 1386 on the range I frequent. One shot at each. Moving across a hillside, acquiring the target, range and dial, and taking the shot as quickly as possible to make a good hit. 580, 641, 733, 881. Let the barrel/suppressor cool. Then the longer shots at 980, 1004, 1181, 1386. 15x is a little high to very quickly aquire the target at the closer ranges. Even at 733. So I try and start on 7x. When I get to 881, I will crank up the power to 12-15x. The only target I crank up to full power 15-25x) is the 1386. Elevation dialing is a must. Reading and accurately holding for wind is a science and an art form. [/QUOTE]
