Since the .223 on Deer thread goes so well, may as well start a .223 handloads thread. I have never done any load development with this rifle before - I just shot the load as provided by Kiwi...

I wouldn't overthink it for closer ranges - 275m with my data is 1.3MIL for flat and 1.0 for -30 degrees. That is 34 vs 26cm. Most people are very poor at judging slope - if you are not...

It's a bit goofy but it's a useful illustration. When you're looking at a deer at 400y (360m), it will look something like this (aiming point 3mil down). Your crossbars are 1mil spacing, same...

Zero for 100, make a chart with the distances each reticle graduation corresponds to, hold between them for actual ranges that fall between, have an understanding of "danger space", shoot stuff ...

Your crossbars with a 100y zero are close enough to 200/300 that it won't matter in the real world

It's complicated. Shooting more hinds certainly will not hurt - but it also may not help. There are density-dependent fecundity effects where releasing acute feed competition may increase the...
