Try both, if you can. Published BC's are about the same. Use whichever groups best at needed velocity. 10-ring of LR target is 20" diameter (~2 MOA) so should be no problem on a dead calm day. Unfortunately, that's not usually the condition at Camp Perry and even a gentle 5 mph crosswind throws a good shot some 50" out for a six or miss at 1000 yards. Long range is a wind-doping game. If you need to hone those skills but don't have a 1000-yard range handy, practice at 200 with a good .22 target rifle and match-grade ammo. |
