Default RE: WHERE DOES EVERYONE BUY THEIR AMMO?

ORIGINAL: CamoCop

my overall goal is to gain more yardage out of my rifle with less drop. i know you can sight in for ungodly ranges BUT i don't want to screw up my 100 yard range aswell. i know you can't have the best of both worlds...but i would like to find a better happy medium than what i have now.

i'm not a ballistic expert but common sense tells me that the lighter the projectile the faster/flatter it will shoot. however, by lightening up the projectile and making it faster/flatter...how much will this effect the "drop" of the projectile.

overall goal:

other than buying a range finding scope...i'm trying to take some guess work out of long shots. does this make sense to you?

Cop,I have posted this picture many times to prove a point! I took these two within 3 hrs with .270 130gr NP... InRifle, CO in 1994. I have also taken many deer in FL with it.
