how much does a 300gr xtp drop at 150 or 200. how much at 300? how about with magnum charges? how about 300?
Everone,pretty much "sucks" at judging yardage,past 100yds. In a open field, (grass/corn/bean/ect.) it's even harder! :shock: I use a "marker" set at 100yds. for a refrence point. Anything inside the marker is a boom flop,and anything past the marker is "laser ranged" before the shot. You will find the range finder is some of the best money you have ever spent on hunting gear. Wind drift is another story all together :lol: RonUtahRob said:I just bought a range find so i can keep my shots under 100-150 max . With out it , it was just way to hard for ''ME '' to guess the range . Last time out i kept playing with the range finder and i was amazed how off i was with out it . I would look at something guess the range and be off as much as a 100 yards . Guess something under 100 was easy, its past that that i sucked . I shoot 300 grain bullets and mine drop about 18 '' at 150 they are a flat nose HP . We made a set up on a mountain the last evening of our elk hunt and made a make shift blind 60 yards from where we though ( did not show ) the elk would come out , we had gale force winds and i could not even begin to guess how much drift a bullet would do at 100+ yards in conditions like that even with a heavy bullet .Two times i had a bull elk that i thought was at 110-130 then ranged him to find out he was at over 200 -250 tried to get closer only spooked him . Like i said i really suck at guessing over 100 yards so the range finder was the best thing i have ever bought . I ran into a guy last year with a side lock that bragged about missing 6 elk , i just wounder how many he wounded . ??? I also saw a guy and a mule deer forum that said his group of 4 had 25 shots at bucks and got three with their muzzle loaders :shock: :shock:
frontier gander said:i dont care what muzzleloader you are shooting, 300 yards is just to damned far for normal field shooting! 200 yards is really pushing it if you dont have a solid rest. Save those big 300 yard shots for the centerfire.
hasnt anybody shot 200 or 300 yards at the range?
