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

    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.
