Long range for beginners

[Oh Mah]

I did a tall target test today with the 243. Shooting past 800 I notice I hit higher than my ballistic cal gave. I kept playing with inputs trying to figure out what’s up. Not getting the results I wanted I decided to test my scopes click value with a tall target test at exactly 100 yards( verified by tape measure and sig 2000) started the test with my magneto speed on checking my level

Then took the v3 off and shot a 5 shot group which was low and left. I left it alone and dialed 20 min and shot 2,dialed down to zero shot one, then back to 20,then back to zero, back to 20 till I had 7 shots at 20 min and 9 at zero. Dialing 20 should have put me 20.94” high. Group was 22.25” high.  Doing the math I figured out my scopes click value is .278 mos or 1.112” per min. 
Now my actual dope lines up with ballistic app out to 1250 which is as far as I’ve confirmed hits

Great post jasnt,Question/What is the distance between lines?

1”.  It was just for a reference when measuring. Horizontal lines are not necessary

gotcha,    yeah i think i understand how you did it i will try this with a few of my rifles and see if i can get them as close as you set yours up.

did you watch the video I posted?

[Magnum_Willys]

I watched it, his turrets were off by 1/10 of an inch at 93 yards - definitely a test I need to do.

I tested the tracking on one of my scopes a month or so ago. Did a similar test but I dialed back and forth between zero and 15 moa each shot. I had no measurable correction on that scope.

Dis not see it before,Just watched it.Really good video thanks.

I always say I'm going to do tracking tests but never actually do it. I just assume that when I miss, it's because I suck.

Just because my scope tracks well doesn’t mean I can’t miss or that I don’t suck.

Been doing load development for a friends bergara hmr in 300wm
I like the gun. Not super impressed with the trigger but I do like the stock. Barrel has a bit more free bore than I’d like to see in a repeater but not horrible.  Shooting 210gr h-vld’s , cci 250’s and re 22

Just heard about that.  Crazy accurate.  Must not have been any wind at all that day.

[jasnt]

Or very steady wind.

[Magnum_Willys]

Amazing ! Ive heard said records like that require luck of errors offsetting each other more than unicorn precision.
