[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1931958, member: 101859"] My goal is to be able to keep shots inside the size of an elk heart. Same goes for cold bore shots. Past 700-800 yds that gets far more difficult. The drops are one thing, but the wind is another. I mostly shoot mirage but that only tells you whats going on at the target. In the summer Im shooting and tuning at 1k 2-3 times a week and to sit down and look at the mirage and be confident in knowing its value is just not easy. Even doing it multiple days a week, I doubt I will ever master it. Another point is that I find the larger bores to have more consistent drops day to day than smaller bores. If I had to do everything off a paper drop chart, I would be shooting a .338 at minimum. I do think there are some things about a bullets mass that just cant be taken into account in ballistic calculations. [/QUOTE]
