340, did you miss your moose this year too? Don't feel too bad, I missed a nice bull 7 times at 350 yards in Newfoundland this year myself. Scope of knocked off severely on a fall down the mountain. Fortunately, I went the last day and knocked down a cow. Oh well, next year. Happens to the best of us.

I agree about setting up your scope us for too long range. I like to set mine up where the max rise up to the zero point is not over 3". Which with about the fastest magnum, is 250 yards. But when I got up there, some of these guides where expecting me to take 550yard shots just because I had an ultra mag!! Thats a 39" drop with my load sighted in at 250yards and with their horid wind, a possible wind drift of over 2ft. Time to find a new guide.

Totally agree SJ. Thats why I only trust my chrono. I rarely match the numbers in alot of the mauels. Hodgedons is about the only ones I do match.
