wind drift. Its a killer at 600 with a 69. At 1000 even the 80s get bucked around. ITs the reason I went to 90s.
Even at 300 the 69s drift more than comparable 75/77/80ish bullets.
Anyone can grab a rangefinder and adjust elevation, its the windage thats a SWAG.
Miss with a 69 doesn't kill a PD but a hit with a 77 will....
Someone here, I thought it was Fiddy, commented about the 69s shooting very well all the way to 900. Maybe I got the wrong guy, sorry.

Nah I didn't comment about shooting to 900 - I wouldn't be qualified to do so.
If I were a betting man I would bet that well over 50% of the people who own AR's never shoot farther than 300 yards if that far. I certainly have rifles better equipped for 900 yd shots than even my Les Baer.
Yeah I fall into that category. I'll probably never shoot farther than that, and I'm probably never going to hunt anything a la prairie dog, either.
