You'll need WAY more than that, brother. Just on my WinMag, I'm 16.9 Mils to the Mile, and that is with a 500 yard zero, which bottoms out the elevation wheel at that distance. The Nikon I have advertised 17 Mils of elevation afjustment, but it really has 23 Mils of travel, and I have all 23 Mils available to dial UP with that 500 zero. I have the second one sitting at the GunPusher's shop right now. The Cronus, which is a badass piece of glass, has 32 Mils of elevation, and 18 Mils of windage. That particular Ares ETR has 32 and 32 Mils, elevation and windage. I went that route, just because of that. There's another one out there, and we'll have to ask @JBMatt what the exact model is, but he put a Zeiss on Joy's .300 Norma Mag rifle that has 55 (FIFTY-FIVE!!!) Mil of available elevation in it!!! So, my advice - I've done the homework on those two Athlon optics for ya, right there. Go back and research the others on your list, and see what they have for available (or advertised) elevation travel. You want a good piece of glass, with the most elevation travel you can afford... FWIW, we found that we were shooting the Mile at about 16x. We used that for the 2k shots. It works. You can identify the target, see it easily, send the shot, go through recoil recovery, and be back on target to see your own hit or miss, just because it's a huge field of view at those distances. The more you crank it up, the more you'll see yourself being shaky AF, and the smaller field of view you'll have... My $0.02.

Someone needs to jump on this - it's a SCREAMIN' DEAL !!!...

2020 to 2050. We'll see if this plays out. Definitely doesn't sound like it's unrealistic.

@Cunuckgaucho Figured I'd help Eric out a little bit...

United Flight 23.

If his head wasn't near the kicker, you could fire that 2-stroke up and get his ass RIGHT out of there!!!...

Not a .308AR.com Official Contest, but this is still the best place to stash a topic like this. Sign up! Someone here needs to get this!!!! Clicky... https://henrythumb.com/

We'll put you straight on it, and smack the piss out of the mile!

This came out 9 days ago from right now. KING5 News! My old hometown news source from Seattle, for over a decade! SIG is so fukked, with the 320. Good thing they have so many SOF Contracts with the Army. I don't think that will save them, though, but it's delaying all the other shiit, no doubt. Check it:

SIG found a loophole, and exploited it - in their own home state... Pathetic.

The 4th Edition is out now, brother. Linky: https://thescienceofaccuracy.com/product/applied-ballistics-for-long-range-shooting-4th-edition/

Here we go, Sketchy-Bro... Applied Ballistics For Long Range Shooting, 3rd Edition. By Brian Litz. Chapter 2: The Ballistic Coefficient. It gets WAY into detail on all this stuff. WAY DEEP...

Higher the number = way more slipprier. I just made a new word. Bigger number = less resistance, fly much more better through air. At least, that's what @Magwa was yelling at me, last time out here.

Just looking at G1 drag factor, I found the load data for MagPro in the .338 LM and 285s / 300s on the Hodgdon load site. They only listed 3 of the 300 grain projectiles. 300 Berger Hybrid, 300 Lapua Scenar, and the 300 Sierra MatchKing HPBT. They didn't have anything for 300 A-Tips. But a 300 is a 300, so I'm not gonna blow myself up working on these, no way. So, G1 drag factors. 300gr Berger Hybrid - 0.822 G1 300 Lapua Scenar - 0.736 G1 (<<< that one shocked me...) 300 Sierra HPBT - 0.768 G1 Looked up the 300 A-Tip... 0.863 G1. That's the slipperiest bastard in the whole pile. Won't have a single issue making 2750 fps from a 24" barrel. FWIW - the 285 ELD-M has a G1 of 0.789. That's a badass projectile.

Thanks, brother. I wanted to keep running the 285 ELD-Ms. I have about 75 of them left. Figured I'd stick with it. Looked them up, and they're $50~$60 a box. Didn't want to pay $110 a box for the 300 A-Tips. Well, shiit... The 285s only come in 50-a-box. The A-Tips come 100-a-box! They're the same damn price! 300 A-Tips it certainly is...

JBM Ballistics, to make all my dope charts. I use the accurate weather from the Kestrel, and the true speeds from the Garmin chrono, and make the Dope Charts. I rely on the Dope Charts 95% of the time. When the weather is super-fukked up, I'll run the Kestrel just to get Density Altitude at the time, and use that DA to modify the holds/dials on the Dope Chart data... The Kestrel has Applied Ballistics calculator loaded into it. If I bluetooth the LRF to it, lase, get a distance, the elevation and windage corrections pop directly up on the Kestrel screen. However, if I rely only on those two things, and I don't know the gun - what do I do when the batteries die?... No, no way, brother... Just working on loads, firing at 100 yards, and looking for pressure right now. First test was a success, completely. I need 2750 fps from this 24" barrel. I hit 2792 fps on the 3rd load. No need to even shoot the other two loads, with the higher charge weights. I got what I wanted on the 285s with 87.5 gr RL22. I know I'll get the 300gr projos to 2750 with the Accurate MagPro powder.

Finally got one. This is a Savage 110 BA Stealth model. They introduced it around 2017, and discontinued it when they came out with @Magwa's model. First time, on this model, that they blueprinted the action. Has the Savage Accu-trigger, which I'm a huge fan of, and it comes in the MDT LSS chassis. 24" barrel. Witt Machine brake went on it as soon as it came home. Don't really like the glass I got with it, so that's coming off, as well as those ridiculously high rings. The scope was ordered, and is in at GunPusher John's, going with the Athlon Ares ETR Gen 2 UHD scope, 4.5x ~ 30x. Getting mounted in Burris XTR Signature rings. Shot it last weekend, kicks like a MOFO, because it's light. The stock it came with sucked, so that's gone. MDT Skeleton Carbine Stock already on it, and some MDT chassis weights on the way now. Beef this thing up al little, drop the recoil. Enough talk - here it is right now:

There's more depth to this topic, below, and more that the Feds were watching...

TRUTH!!!

The SR-71 Pilot and Navigator BAITED those fuqrs...

Yes, he is. The Main Act. I stated that those two shots were 6" apart, at the top center of the plate - but I think they were more like 4" apart... @JBMatt has the picture of the plate, and the impacts... @Magwa... Respect, brother...
