Which is why when i shoot long range, i twist the elevation dial not the power dial. Shooting long range by twisting up the elevation dial works much better for me than dialing down the power dial. Reducing power to shoot long range seems backwards. Another thing i like to do, is after sighting in at 100 yard, i dial up for 200 yard. After shooting at 200 yard, i fine tune the 200 yard aim; who cares if this put the 100 yard impact, off a little bit.
......today while walking around some, i accidentally found a place where i can shoot 300 yard, if i walk the target out. Soon as the cows are gone, i might just have me a good place to do some 300 yard shooting...........maybe..........maybe not.
