So low flying brick then :D and no smart comments from the peanut gallery Mr BRADS !

Yes DS, all I am asking is what the actual data is that sits behind the rule-of-thumb he mentions for windage on 6.5x55 vs 308. No matter what I enter into a ballistics calc, I cannot get a similar...

So I guess you don't want some Berger 155gr VLD Hunting pills then :D

What if you had a 1:13 twist barrel on your hunting rifle ? Would you still insist on a heavier projectile ?

The DVD is about fundamentals (position, trajectory confirmation, wind calling, valley shooting and inclines) of long range shooting, they shoot paper, gongs and rocks (no animals). Have you watched...

Um, ok then :wtfsmilie:

VC, I use 155gr Lapua Scenars out to 1000yds, they seem to kill paper targets just fine...

Niblet, I think the 155gr restriction on FTR has either already been lifted or...

Next question:

In the wind section, you compare 6.5x55 to 308. At around 1:24:40, you say that at 800m with 2m/s wind, your rule of thumb gives 18 clicks.

Well done on the video, definitely worth watching, and a very interesting / practical approach to long range shooting.

Couple of questions / comments:

Me too !
