Quite a difference in 2 miles and 2 kilos. | |||

For sure, but in either case your odds of a first round hit are a lot better if you get to shoot closer ones first. | |||

ABL probably have an advantage considering their equip. and dope charts. You may investigate them a little. | |||

I know Bryan Litz. He sent me his books. I have the utmost respect for him. His method for measuring spin drift is/was absolutely brilliant. But even Bryan would find it easier to hit at "x" range by shooting at "x-y" first. And he would be the first to admit it. | |||

So how do you prepare for a long shot? I don't think you understand the rational. It is a shooting contest, not just a bunch of guys throwing bullets at 2 miles until the first one hits it. Tell me where I indicated that it wouldn't be easier to start shooting short first was not better. They were doing it primarily to eliminate some of the wanta be long range shooters. You're a friend of Bryan's, call him and ask him. | |||

Unfair, your target was too large. | |||

I wonder how many shots he had to make to finally hit it. I noticed a remark about how well "the last two magazines" shot. So, are we talking 20 shots, 30 shots, or 80 shots to hit the target? . | |||

I checked with the Whittington Center about two hours ago. The 2017 Match will be held June 26-29th. | |||

Ed, you would have to remove the bolt on most rifles to load the round and not all will eject a fired round. Your brass is about 3.200" and a loaded round is about 4.800". | |||
