[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3303048, member: 33119"] Okierider kicked this off wanting to shoot his Grendel out to 500 yards and maybe further. Without sounding snobbish (which I’ve been accused of), I would venture to guess most who will attend a long range ENS with a max range of 300 yards will find it too easy given they have adequate optics/peep sights. Depending on muzzle velocity and if shooting 1/2 or 2/3 IPSC steel targets, any type scope adjustment really isn’t necessary to get hits assuming a head hold. Even with a full value 20mph wind, holding off target 1 to 1.5 MOA you’ll roughly center punch it. If you dial adjustments to your scope, have a bipod and rear bag, it’s as easy as squeezing the trigger. Naturally, shooting smaller/round targets will make it more challenging. 300 yards may challenge one or two shooters, but it won’t challenge many centerfire rifle cartridges, especially Okierider’s Grendel, but it will still be lots of fun. For 300 yards with a 100 yard zero most shooters will require between: ~3 to ~4 MOA elevation 5mph FV wind, ~0.6 MOA 10mph FV wind, ~1.4 MOA 15mph FV wind, ~2.1 MOA 20mph FV wind, ~2.9 MOA Depending on optic, you can dial or hold for it.
