It starts with some advice from our friends at Spuhr mounts, and others. All received after the fact.
1. Find a load that shoots well with as low ES as you can!
2. Check tracking of your scope!
3. Don’t trust chronographs!
4. Zero your load several times so you know its on zero at 100 m.
5. Don’t trust Ballistic calculators
6. Test your zeroed load on as long a distances as you can.
7. Test your load on other distances too.
8. Now when you have hard tested data compare that to your Ballistic calculator and tweak the velocity you entered so your Ballistic calculator's outputs are true to your load's ballistics
9. Practice shooting from weird positions and barricades, with and without a sling.
10. You are now set for hours of misery and fun!
I honestly thought I was going to load you into the hold of the plane on the way home in a body bag.
ReplyDeleteThe first valley was going to kill you.
I asked Eric if it was ok to “do like they do on Everest and just leave him there dead where he stood frozen?”
“I’m not picking him up!”
Was the reply “so yeah I should think it’s fine”
