Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

Nice rifle, what are you sighted in at presently? 500 yds is a lot farther than most folks think, but your 308 will not have any trouble with that. Do some ballistic table research for your specific bullet weight and velocity and you should be able to make a darn good guess for your hold over. Likely not perfect but it will get you on the paper than you can dial it in from there. If I am walking out there cold with unknown customers rifle I will typically stack two targets vertically then aim at top to establish drop at misc distance provided I have verified the HZ is basically accurate. And remember the wind is not your friend! Pictures or it didn’t happen!

Currently it's dialed in perfectly at 100 yards since that's all I normally have around here to shoot. I'll have to double check, but I believe it's around 11.5 minutes I need to dial in shooting 175gr gold medal match out of a 20" barrel.

The guy that I am going with has a 308 with the same barrel length, so I'll dial in whatever he uses to start with. But the two vertical targets is a good idea to start with. They have a 6" and a 12" gong out there too. Should be a fun day. Might even try it with my Wilson Combat Urban Sniper too.
