[QUOTE="imasam, post: 501295, member: 20611"] Thank you, I agree with you about being able to calculate for precision shooting. Proficient shooters need to make room for all styles and capabilities. I have been shooting a 300 win mag for 40 years. The gun has never failed me while hunting. I used the velocity / flat trajectory to acheive my requirements. I have recently sold my last 300 win mag, and am changing over to shoot a 308 winchister and a 22-250. I no longer must have the flat trajectory to reach my needs. Range finders, varmit graticles, and dial in turrets have changed that. And, yes inexpensive chronographs as well. The new guns have less kick and use less powder. I know the .264 bullet has the better BC but i like a little bigger diameter bullet when hunting. I will be making custom ammo for my guns from now on, fire formed and necked sized. I haven't gone to the custom barrels but that will depend on how far i wish to shoot. I live in the city and long range shooting is a logistics problem .. not a proficiency problem. [/QUOTE]
