Long range for beginners

[Jonathan_S]

Beer can shim tapered with a carpenters hammer ?

That's some precision work

I would lean more toward the Burris signature rings over shimming a rail 
Even though I despise anything Burris or Steiner.

Nah if the shim doesn’t work out I’ll stick with the 20 till I can afford the Warner or Ivey adjustable base.  ELR season is over anyway.  Pointless to shoot when you can’t spot your splashes

I've shimmed a couple bases with aluminum muffler tape with good results, then bed the rail to make sure everything is making solid contact. Of course I've also been known to just use muffler tape on the bottom of an action to fix bad bedding problems.

No excuses! I went out yesterday to shoot at 1032 yards with the 284 and 338/375 pistols and it was 38 degrees and raining with sustained 30mph winds and gusts up around 40mph. I had to adjust my normal wind call from "hold a little left" to "hold all of the left". This was after using my truck as a wind break and tying my pop up canopy to the truck so it didn't blow away.

Yea hold 14 feet to the left should be close !

Well the shim worked great. Got it rezeroed after plowing snow. Put the last 3 rounds in one hole. I now have enough dial for 1765-1790 depending on wind speed and direction. Time to bed the rail

I did do a little long range shooting yesterday with my sr9 shooting 147gr xtps at 1150 at 106.4 yards.  Kept most of the rounds on 4” rock till it busted to peace’s.   Fun day

Got the rail bedded   Maybe tomorrow I can shoot and get it zeroed again.

Put 32 rounds through it today dialing up and down.  Held zero and returned to zero. zero shadowing in the scope.   I’m happy with the results

I looked back in the thread a ways but think I missed it - what scope are you using?

viper pst gen 1
They advertise 60 moa total travel but mine has 69 min and with the slope I have now I have 63 min up plus 11 in hold off or plus 22 if I dial back to true halfway.
