Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Ladder test, How, why?

I see.

I also see you have no idea of what constitutes a fine long range load. 200 and 300 yards aren't long range. A little vertical at those ranges won't kill you.

When you're shooting 600 to 1200 yards and you have a load with a minute or more of vertical you have more than just wind to worry about. You have to worry about where your barrel will haphazardly throw the shot vertically AND where your piss poor wind reading skills will place the bullet horizontally

With loads that consistently print with minimal vertical dispersion at every range and solid drop data, the wind is the only issue. That's tough enough.

100 yard development works well too, but sometimes will fool you. You discovered that at long range.
