Everyone better start watching the classifieds come next month. I just may have some goodies on there at decent prices.
What really kinda got me thinking was when I was shooting @ 100 - just for the heck of it I put the a clay pigeon out in the snow at 200 yards. When I shot at it was totally surprised I was only a couple inches low - right on left/right

That prompted me to shoot and get muzzle velocity and 100 yd. velocity - from that I was able to compute the BC of the bullet. When I ran the ballistic sheet - well dang! it was really close to what I was experiencing.

This a hundred yard target shot with a 1-20 twist bore. They really shoot pretty good!
