calvin........not arguing with you......but, walk out in the prairie with your balloons, and if you can hold on to them....start shooting.................i used to obsess over the bc..sd..different weights....different calibers...

i would look at the charts and obsess over an 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 drop...........but for me in my real world hunting ...made no difference..........i have killed quite a bit of stuff, i can honestly say...calibre and bc and sd...never really came into play.

i would consider myself average....like 98% of other hunters.........i think the truly long range guys are the other 2%.........killing an elk , deer...fill in the blank....at 5 or 6 hundred...doesn't make you a long range shooter.

doing that and more...over and over dose.......hunters are worse than fishermen, when it comes to telling the truth about how long the shot was.....bob
