[QUOTE="Jpron, post: 2045980, member: 109080"] Thanks for all the replies and thoughts. I cannot speak for the other 5. I don’t know there setups or how they practiced. I set up the rifle for my buddy, I developed the load and I sighted it in. He was here two weeks ago tomorrow. First he shot off a lead sled. Half moa at 100. Then he hit a gallon milk jug at 315, then hit a 10inch by 11 inch steel plate at 650. Then he repeated just using a bag. He hit the 100, then he hit the blown up milk jug. Then he was about 4-5 inches left of the 650 yard plate. He had never even attempted a shot that far before that day. The humidity has been very low and the temp was around 30. I shot that rifle periodically throughout last summer and fall with no change in poi at any weather condition. Now I didn’t shoot days when it was 95 and 75 dew point. I cannot answer what they were using for a rest when they got there, nor if the distance was correct. I’m assuming being the guide was there when they were shooting the distance was hopefully correct. If not they have way bigger problems. [/QUOTE]
