Default RE: 500 yards

I got some borrowed time to make some smoke tonight, it was nice and calm. I confirmed my 100yd zero and then went right out to 300yds. It was in the mid-80s so I gave the gun 5 minutes between shots but the 100yd group was still a little bigger than it should have been (about 1.5-2"). The 300yd group was right where I thought it would be, group was just high of center with 15 MOA dialed into the scope. Given my lack of trigger time lately and the temps I was pretty happy with the 3.5" group I printed at 300 yds.

If the weather and my duties cooperate, and I can actually see the target over the corn, I'll go straight to 500 tomorrow. I ran the scope up and I have at least 45 MOA left in it so I have more than enough elevation to get there. I did not save the targets from today but I'll take a pic at 500 yards if I get to shoot it.
