Just got back from 340 defense and first time shooting 400 yards (376 to be exact).
Like a retard I thought I would wing it with the dope and hit paper at 400 yards....hahaha, no way! Took me 20+ rounds I think to get on paper at that distance. Finally got close enough to shoot a 5 shoot group and here it is....nothing great at all, I'm sure most of ou guys can shoot this blind folded.
Don't even know how to calculate groups but the longest section is about 3". I had one bad flyer or the group would have been much smaller.
Eugene, a instructor there was working with a student and put out a dueling tree at 200 and man sized target at 300. He asked me to shoot and flip the tree back over for his student. I told him i had no idea what to dope for those ranges and explained how dumb I was nearly 30 mins earlier. He whips out his phone tells me 9 clicks for 200 and 20 for 300... where the fauk was he or that app an hour ago could have saved me a box of ammo LOL. So needless to say his dope was spot on and I neve missed a target LOL.
At the end of the day, I had a blast and really like shooting longer distances! Could me a new hobby for me, but stuff is expensive haha.
Guessing my new gun is broke in now, probably around 80 rounds or so. Remington still makes good shooting guns, that's for sure.
