Factory loaded .308 match ammo for long range

So, next time make the adjustment ahead of time and see if it works for you.

Most of the time when shooting at range I have enough trouble getting the wind adjustment right :)

Reach out to a scout sniper. A good one.
They see a pile of bullets go down range.
Like I have mentioned before. 1000yds is no cake walk.
I have dope on my gun to 750yds.
Past that I’m not good enough to be predictable and not really that good at 600yds.
I’m shooting a small caliber.
Always take notes of what happened. Apply it to the next range session. If it happens the same and write that down. Gathering Data on Personal equipment is very very important for your gun and you.
My SEAL buddy talks spin drift. You can see it in a shooting scope. He talks specifically in the desert. He explains why the military has an effective range on cartridge. Not necessarily a lethal range but how far is the round predictable or gun.
Here is an example. 300wm gas gun with 20” barrel he claims is predictable to around 750yds his bolt gun with a 28” barrel is close to 1300yds.
Spin drift or not and maybe going from sonic to transonic plays a role he says.
He defiantly claims spin drift is real and moves the bullet to the right and up in his case like yours. But he has notes and it’s programmed into a high end kestrel device.
He likes to say. It’s not the first shot that kills you. “But if I can see where the first on lands or my spotter, bet your ass dead on the second one”. I like this statement. Even the best In the world need a sighter.
