[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3079746, member: 15054"] There are pipelines I hunt and No grass on some of them just rock and trees on the sides. I set targets ( Brown hacket Flagstone stood on end) at 200 and 300 yards those were easy hits. Moved to 400 yards shooting a bit down the first hill at 200 and 300 at 400 you were coming back up the hill on the other side. Easy hits still .308 and 30-06. Stood some up at the top of the hill now shooting even or flat and not down hill. This was 750 yards NO HITS! No consistency either those 150 and 165 gr pills were getting blown around all over the place. from 2" away from the target to 2 feet away. On a calm 10 MPH or less wind day shooting flat at 500 yards those 2 guns would stay sub moa with wind from one direction. Walking to the hill top I encountered winds in my face and at my back and from both sides of me . Nothing to judge how the wind was acting. Now a heavier bullet would not get blown around near as much and hits at that distance would be a cake walk for 300gr traveling at the same speeds as the .308 165 gr. I was shooting with a friend that day and laying in the prone position with front bag. No issues seeing the targets either very clear. Nikon 3-9x40 Buckmaster on the .308 savage 10FP shooting 165 Gameking HP propelled by Varget. and 4-16x40 Centerpoint on the 30-06 Mossberg 100 atr 150gr Hornady 3031 bullet pushed by IMR 4064 powder. Many critters died from those rounds but none past 400 yards yet. [/QUOTE]
