[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1087449, member: 68875"] You could just learn your drops and have a backup list taped to your scope/stock. Until you verify drops at the exact conditions you will be hunting, you won't know if you are at 20 MOA or 21 MOA at 800 yards. And 1 MOA at 800 yards is 8", a miss or bad hit on a deer. Conditions do change, even at the same location, due to weather systems. Not that @ 800 yards it will make too much of a difference. I shoot a .300RUM with the 215 Hybrids @ 3100fps, and just changing pressure 2" (from 27.92" to 25.92") and 20° (from 10° to 30°) makes a difference between 117.5" drop and 112.0" drop at 800 yards. 5.5" difference. But if a weather system rolled through, or temps change even more, that could easily become a miss on game. Get the "Shooter" app on your phone and start load development and verification now. True your ballistics and practice. I he fund Shooter is very accurate for all of my rifles. You can input the environmental conditions, and it will give you a true reading of drop. Just keep it up on your phone while sitting your stand. [/QUOTE]
