azslim Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Nope Ernesto, he's mine. At 400 yds I hold at the top of the back, been doing it for years, I probably have a longer zero, haven't done the math in years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ernesto C Report post Posted July 7, 2010 Nope Ernesto, he's mine. At 400 yds I hold at the top of the back, been doing it for years, I probably have a longer zero, haven't done the math in years. You probably are 4 to 5 inches high at 100 yards and dead on at 300 yards or so. But if you being doing for years dont need to change anything.

308Nut Report post Posted July 7, 2010 308 win, 208 AMAX, 2610 FPS, -0.8 MIL, 4.5-9.0" of wind. Dial up 8 clicks, hold 9" to the right. 1 dead buck. For most serious coues hunters, this would be a well practiced shot and subsequently, a slam dunk. As I see it, a good coues buck at 400 yards with a 5-10 MPH wind is a blessing.

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted July 7, 2010 Range it. Dial it. Shoot it. Aim where I wanted the bullet to strike. I dream about seeing my dream buck within 880yrds and a 5-10mph wind. 7mmRM 162 Amax 300WM 208 Amax +1 Using my 300 Wby and Huskemaw scope and a Berger 168 VLD.... No Brainer!!

justanotherpunk Report post Posted July 9, 2010 rem 700 3x9 ziess diavari .300wm 165gr hornady interlock sp average muzzle velocity of 3,280 fps. 8" drop from zero at 400. Get rest, chamber round, breathe, squeeze, take a moment to reflect on the collection my trophy and patience that allowed for his collection. Unlike last time because of the lack of wind and the amount of practice i have at this distance, i'd take the shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every time we see the grey ghost is like time stops! your hart pumps faster, you get excited, anxious and the same time everything turn mistical....like if you were on another dimension, no sounds or at least you dont hear anything, the background and surroundings turn in majestick and mistically misterious like if you were in a dream? your spirit for a moment feels like is in touch with your great ancesters hunting with bow an arrow...predator and prey....stalking mode, getting closer..... Yes it is true and it has happened to the best of us......sometimes you just hope you flinch at the rigt time Ernesto C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weatherby1 Report post Posted July 12, 2010 First shot dead on, next shot somewhere in front of a running deer, third shot somewhere in the general direction of the hillside. Then to the truck cussing the gun for being off. Then to the house to tell everyone I see I let the 115" buck grow for another year to get bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
