Interesting...nicely done too. I'd say you have your calculations down. Do you do this because you don't shoot a mil reticle scope? For me its easier to have my zero as the highest flyer ....

Gotta love the 700. One of my sons keeps trying to talk me into a Savage even though he once called my Remmy "freakishly accurate". Savage makes accurate guns too but compared to my 700 they are just flat out ugly.

'man: No, I did that thinking that out to 300y and change that I could just put it "on" and expect a killing hit, but I do realize that picking a 200y zero would do the same. I think I was obsessing so much over where to zero, I just kinda flew of the track of reason. I can usually get 'em to stand up, so it seemed somewhat logical.

Toki' gotta agree with you on that... My Savage was a tack driver but looking at it was... well, kinda low on the delight scale.

...but it shoty so well, that when I looked at it I saw beauty!!

Like they say Bow, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there is not much prettier than a 5 shot .25" group.

milkman, That statement about 748 is interesting. Why would a barrel need to be rested?

I thought the same, as W748 usually shoots cooler/temps than most other powders. Bill K

Bill, I say that because of the fast burn rate and hot load potential of w748.
