[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2119291, member: 15527"] The last time I was talking about "dialing-in" a scope, I took Daniel to the range and got him set up to shoot a couple jugs full of water for some reactive targets... Rifle used was a CVA Apex that I built a barrel for and chambered in 357 Maximum... [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i193.photobucket.com_albums_z132_HonkerHunter_photos_APEX_20MAX_101.jpg[/IMG] This is Daniel. He was 13 at the time he shot these "targets" and this was his FIRST time at the shooting bench... [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i193.photobucket.com_albums_z132_HonkerHunter_photos_APEX_20MAX_016.jpg[/IMG] His targets... [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i193.photobucket.com_albums_z132_HonkerHunter_photos_APEX_20MAX_007_1.jpg[/IMG] Daniel shot these 4 jugs in 4 shot at ranges 50 yds., 100 yds., 200 yds. and 300 yds... [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i193.photobucket.com_albums_z132_HonkerHunter_photos_APEX_20MAX_017.jpg[/IMG] Daniel was able to hit all four jugs because I showed him how to "dial-in" the scope for each known distance. The same thing applies when shooting at long-range and extreme range. That way, there is no guessing at how high to put the crosshairs above the target... The cartridge was 357 Maximum and loaded with Hornady's 140 gr. FTX bullets at a muzzle velocity of 2,717 fps... [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i193.photobucket.com_albums_z132_HonkerHunter_photos_APEX_20MAX_092.jpg[/IMG] This was not the most accurate bullet or load but, it did pretty for shooting out to a maximum distance of 300 yds...
