Thanks David!

Cliff- seriously love your videos.

Once again, another excellent video... I greatly appreciate the time you put into these. Can you share with me please your ballistic software? Did you make a video of it?. Thanks a bunch!

A point that should be made as I see it lots at the range is guys sighting in to a “ warm bore “ . If their first shot is high and left or whatever they say “ oh that’s just because it’s a cold bore “ . Well ,,,, what do you hunt with ? A warm or cold bore ? I’ll take ten mins between shots minimum on my final sight in . Sight in cold fellas . That’s the shot you get when hunting

Nice groups. I think you can speed up this process by using your ballistic program and use a short range sight in. By in putting velocity of bullet at muzzle, weight of bullet, and distance from muzzle to center of scope you can learn at what close range to sight in and have it come to zero at the distance you want. For instance a .308 shooting a 150 grain bullet at 2860 fps sighted in dead on at 25 yards will put impact 2.25 inches high at 100 yards and zero at 225 yards, 1.5 inches low at 250 yards and 6 low at 300 yards. This is scope at 1.5 inches above the barrel. It usually only takes a few rounds to get dead on at the short distance and only a few more to test it at what ever distance you choose. Years ago Marlin published a Sight In Guide somewhat like a slide rule with a number of different calibers on it. Very handy.

The less ranging and fiddling with elevation turret the better. Sight in for maximum point blank range. Many scopes will not track accurately so why take unnecessary chances.

Bore sight at 35 yards, fire one confirmation shot. Lock gun down, place crosshairs on point of aim, use turrets to turn to bullet impact. Fire second shot to confirm. Move to 100 yards. Fire one shot. Repeat the above. Lock rifle down. Adjust crosshair from point of aim to point of impact. You are nowreadonably zeroed at 100 yards. Adjust elevation turret to raise point of impact to 1.5 to 2" high at 100 yards to achieve the flight path with which you are comfortable. Now shoot 5 to confirm zero and allow the gun to cool between each shot. Adjust if necessary and fire a final comfirmation group. I plan to use 20 rounds to sight in a new rifle/scope from scratch. 15 rounds to adjust to a new load.

Great no nonsense video. What cartridge was Jimmy shooting?

I think that’s was an odd caliber… like a .280.

@@CliffGray The 280 Rem is one of my favorites since I killed my first mulie and antelope with my uncle’s. And yes, I’ve actually been called odd for shooting it.

Just started watching your vids… I am a Western slope Native of Colorado. I have to ask, are your vids shot somewhere between Vail and Rifle CO? Looks very familiar!
