Okay, I get it, long range starts at 600 yards, but anything over 300 yards is long range to me.
I had the chance to shoot Friday after work, not much wind and no chores. 7mm-08, 150 Eldx at 2790 mv, prone at 400 yards, bipod. First time in a couple of months, it was nice to get some trigger time.
I didn't have much time so I went back today and stretched it to 500 yards. Same setup. A bit windy this morning, left to right, but I doped it pretty well. I figured 4 mph full value, which gave me a hair over 1 MOA, so I held on the left edge.
A little better than MOA at 500. If the weather cooperates I'll have a few more opportunities.
