Fair enough. We had about generally calme day this winter and we decided to fire off some rounds at 500yrds , 10" gong. I had a 12x duplex reticle scope, and figured out about a 3' drop at that range. Just by guestimating the hold over we figured out a spot to focus on and hit the gong. After finding the right spot, I had 4/5 in 4" on target. Fifth I pulled.
I put the PST on so that I could improve on that , and hopefully have some fun with gophers at the 500yrd + mark. Obviously it won't be as fun on a windy day.
I'm just interested to see what that round with the factory twist can do. I don't think i can make any rounds for heavier bullets with that twist.
You'd have more knowledge than me on this stuff smokinyotes, I've followed your posts on 250s for a while now. I've just played around with longer range stuff cause I've never had the right optics, but now I'm hoping to have some fun with it now that I have a decent scope (IMO).
