An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I finally got some range time at 300. 323 yards to be exact, had to push the target out to be able to see it over one of the hills. Since it heats up and about three shots is all I want to do, and I'm also enjoying killing big pigs with it I just shoot it once or twice every time I take it out on paper and keep track of DOPE. Then it's on to hunt something with it.

So, at 323 yards it's at 14" of drop. I put this, along with some other shots made over the last few months, into a few calculators and it's doing what it should for this ammo. This rifle is a laser. Pay no attention to the top target, it's old. I was holding on the center bull of the top target and at 323 yards windage is less than 1" off, drop is right at 14". I'm confident enough and have plenty of data to order my CDS dial. [Linked Image]

I really like this rifle.

Sweet rifle, and nice shooting. If you ever change your load,etc and don't want to order a new CDS dial, these work great, and are durable......

Yes, with good results. Lately I've gone to simple MIL dials, but they work real good for CDS systems.

Shot this coyote across the canyon, saw him, ranged 339 yards with Sig RF binos, dialed to 330 and he was dead. I was set up for a 300 yard shot on hogs, wanting to see how this bullet acted on a dense, heavy animal at that range. (This is off season mini camp for deer season) I've confirmed zero many times over the last year, and my dial only to 200 yards and it was on. Really glad to see how good it was at this range and had to make this shot pretty quick. This rifle has been acting this way since day one, cold bore shot is $. I've got almost a year on this set up and it's consistent. We're planning some steel time on the river out to 500 yards here soon.

Bobcat, your son will like this post.
