10) At what elevation do you hunt?
I routinely shoot 1300-yards, on paper, started shooting 1,000 meters at Quantico and then at Lejeune, been doing it for thirty years, and I NEVER TARGET GAME AT RANGES THAT EXCEED 600-yards. Its unethical, in my opinion to do so, and unless you have VERY GOOD ANSWERS to the above 15 questions, you shouldn't be doing it either.

What the heck, I'll humor him...
1. 1/4, 1/3 or 1/8 moa adjustments, depends on the optic.
2. Huskemaw, Zeiss, Leupold...take your pick.
3. .243 ack, 6.5x284, 7mm RUM, custom wildcats...take your pick.
4. 105 gr Berger, 140 gr Berger, 200gr Wildcat RBBT, 150 gr ABLR...take your pick. I use manufacturers BC as a starting point and then shoot drops to make changes and adjust accordingly.
5. Each rifle is different.
6. All custom rifles built on either Rem 700's or custom actions. Barrels are all a bit longer then the norm and fast twist.
7. Timney, Jewell or worked over 700 triggers. All stocks glass and/or pillar bedded.
8. Nightforce/Exbal.
9. Zeiss.
10. 2,000-5,000 feet normally.
IF you routinely shoot 1300 yards then you should know that with the right equipment and lots of trigger time it really isn't THAT hard, not as easy like they portray on TV, but not very difficult either.
