Wish to hell i knew how to transplant a post to another thread, down in the BPCR forum under the Eulogy thread on page 3 is a couple videos our buddy Pacecars put up, it'll show why shooting long range iron sights makes even a 1.5-5X leupold seem like hubble telescope magnification.
Firing an 1869 built 45 2-7/8ths Sharps rifle with 514gr paper patch bullet at 1269 fps at a three foot square gong with 12 inch black bull in a 12-15 mph full value wind at 700 yards is some kinda fun, i held near 8 feet into that big East wind firing dew North, bullet struck a foot high and a foot right of bullseye, that's still a dead buffalo [bison] on the great plains of yesteryear.
