Don't panic Rushy, you are still way ahead of me. I still have not put on a scope nor put a round through mine yet.

So it looks like it is going to be a gaggle of guys talking shit and making excuses then GM. It probably was always going to be the first.

Enough that you don't burn through it all on the first day!! Im taking about a hundy for the magnum and about 50 for the 308 Could even come home with some if I'm any good

That said I'd say 50 would be a good time across two days if you don't have the time nor coin for 100 odd. Plus there will be other good buggers giving people a jam on their rifles. I know I'm angling toward a particular 50cal

We don't want people to feel pressured that they don't have enough ammo.

I'm angeling for 100 in the 6.5 and 90 in the rem mag

Pretty much Rushy. Though knowing me I'll surprise myself and do OK for someone who has never shot at a target beyond 100m nor shot prone either.

Then you can adjust your velocity in your ballistic calculator to match your actual inches of drop

For the guys that need to check velocity etc

This target will be mounted vertically using a builders level (so you can check your scopes level) and be set up at 400yrds

It has a 4 inch dot with graduations descending in inch values from the centre of the dot down to 77 inches

Aim at the dot without dialling, your ACTUAL projectile point of impact can be observed and recorded by you or someone on a spotting scope

After that you can, (if you want to) just dial half the moa required and record your projectiles drop in inches, that data then enables you to check your scopes elevation graduation value.

Adjust your velocity etc in your ballistic calculator to match your actual point of impact, then continue to harass the rest of duncans gongs

This will be awesome to watch in 90mph winds

That sounds very scientific. The only problem is it wants straight over my head. Special case me.

You just turn that target 90 degrees sitting horizontal in that case :-)
