You noticed that too ? huh
NO ONE ‘usually’ mentions the time involved in twisting turrets.
Gotta range first, read chart second, twist third, THEN aim/shoot!!!
Justsayin
It's a common <misconception >that magnums extend your maximum point blank range by a wide margin but they don't.
This is getting way off topic but since ONE >
jwall brought it up, here's an article by Ron Spomer on this very subject and he pegs the difference in MPBR between the .308 and .300 Win. TWO >
on a 10-inch target as 320 vs 350 yards. https://www.outdoorlife.com/elk-cartridge-showdown-308-win-vs-300-win-mag-vs-338-win-mag/Second jwall, if you two noticed the same thing then you both saw something that wasn't there because you're talking apples and oranges here. Your first quote (the one I commented on) talked about "long shots." Most people who shoot at distances that allow them to take "long shots" with confidence don't consider anything within their MPBR a long shot. I was talking about long range, you guys are talking about MPBR and they're not one and the same.
Third, with respect to using the range finder and the time it takes, if you guys are taking "350+ yard shots" and "holding on hair" in open country THREE >
without using a rangefinder to confirm the range then you're both knuckleheads.
-----------------------------------------
I am NOT debating you. Just pointing out where YOU are WRONG.
1.Twas NOT I who brought it up. RE READ, comprehension.
2. Neither of us stated 10" target --> DeerS & ELKs are DEEPER than 10"
...b. MY MPBR is 400 yds > just so you know (something !)
EVEN at 500 yds with a 270 W or BETTER --
I KNOW the drop in trajectory.
3. I did NOT say I did NOT use a rangefinder !! I USE one while scanning the OPEN area BEFORE game is seen.
I am OUT ! I want you to have some accurate facts.
