RE: What I see through the scope at 788 meters...
Great picture, as well as description of the process of shooting. Do you remember the approximate wind speed at the time (looks like it was slight breeze from right to left based on the location of the cross hairs to the pink center. Also, is the elevation turret already adjusted, so what shows in the scope is the actual drop of the bullet during travel?
Again, great post!
Wind was about 2mph full value right. (From 3 oclock). When the (photo) shot was taken I moved the rifle up slightly to show the target better so no, this was not the hold I used to shoot. At over 500m I dial elevation usually but hold wind. At 788m it was a 23.4moa dial for elevation and 1moa windage. (.308 pushing 2867fps, 155gr projectile). 1.25 seconds in flight.
I think your post helped give people an idea of the science, technical skill, and difficulty in long range shooting. Good education for many people.
