Paper ballistics are just that.... will give you a close idea of what could be happening with a particular cartridge/bullet combo at a given range.They sometimes can be used as Charmin, also. Waaay to many variables from situation to situation. If you really and truly want to know what YOUR individual combo is actually doing at different yardages, you just absolutely have to shoot at those distances and see for yourself. Period.

Truer words were never spoken ! :confused0024: That's why I use BDC reticles ~ I agree with the "KISS" principle. |
Personally I like to know where my bullet will be at each distance...
I understand to each their own, but point blank isn't my cup of a tea, I think simply knowing that out to say 300yds you can just point and probably hit the animal is nice case of a quick shot. but I'd rather be dead on at each distance, instead of high close up, and low down range, if you'll be 3" low at 300yds, hold up 3" and hit dead on. shoot and check....and also punch in some load info in a ballistics calculator, or just check the charts from the factory for some reference. |
