yeh, it is good to hear I'm alive
One difference, I think, is that those fellas shot a lot more than most of us do now. However, I've been watching some buffalo gun shooters shooting at 500 meters, with the
barrel supported by cross sticks. One ol' boy's 5 shot group was well under MOA. Go figure...
When I was running a couple of hundred rounds a month through my old 270 during the height of the jack rabbit days there wasn't anything safe within 420 yds regardless of wind/angle etc.
Now it just isn't so.
Am getting a long range rifle in a couple of months (if the proto type works out) that will require a good ACI and the "rifle level indicator" and precise mounting of the scope level wise. Me thinks I'm going to the next level.
I should be a real bbl burner but should reach out and touch. Will work up the load, work up the drop chart then shoot at nothing but game (Yotes and smaller) to prolong live of the bbl.
All of these gizmos are just practice but kind of fun.
