Default Re: Long range rifle shooting

After I'd gotten my Savage in .204 Ruger and dialed in I had to try it out to 400yds. I have the scope set, hitting 2.5" high at 100yds. So, I set up a 3 quart water bottle up @ 400yds. and in the pic below, where the Blue is on the jug, I had a 1 square inch piece of silver duct tape as a p.o.a ref. mark.

The crosswinds and the heat made it a bit tougher, but waited till the crosswinds let off. I only took 2 shots as I was at the time, short on ammo.
