Most of my golf experience involves putting golf balls on tees at 100 yd then attempting to launch them over the berm. Ya gotta hit 'em at the very bottom, right at the tee or you just disintegrate them. When you hit one perfect though, it's a thing of beauty watching that sucker sail 100 feet in the air

I've got a good friend who consistently does this with a .22-250 at 500. It's damn impressive.Originally Posted by 0utlaw

Dead Calm with no cross wind? I had a 220 swift varmint barreled m77. Any kind of wind could wreck havoc with that tiny bullet past 300/400 yards.
The 338 didn't have much problem. 300 grains vs 75 grains

Most conditions. Do you use a standard reticle, or a milling reticle with outer windage and elevation adjustments?
You can use the old wind rosette to help determine your placement, but I prefer to use Todd Hodnett's wind formulae, using BC and MV to determine drift. At that point you can choose to dial in the wind, but most seasoned guys use mil hold-offs that may swell and ebb with changing wind - which is a damn good practice. Most winds are not constant so firm dialing wind can be a crippling habit.
Bring your stuff up one day if you want to try some of this stuff out, it's a lot of fun. We'll punch out to around 500 on average and there's a good place for high angle shooting.
