[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 500818, member: 30902"] Life gets very complicated beyond 800yds which is why precision calculations are essential. 210g bullet, 3000fps at the muzzle, BC of .600, zero at 100yds. Between 800-100yds, you have a difference of 7.6MOA/116" drop.

On such shots at extreme angles you also have in most cases a very minimal target exposure as well. Again, we're here to get and give the very best advice for precision shooting at these ranges vs tellign people the best way to cowboy it. At the price of shooting today, few can afford the thousands of hours, thousands of rounds etc it takes to become proficient without learning to do it right from beginning to end. When I first started shooting my 7STW it cost me about .30c per round for top quality factory ammo, and I could reload it for about half that price. Today I'm looking at 3.75 every time I pull the trigger or about 2.00 to load my own. It ain't the same world we grew up in any more. [/QUOTE]
