I have been continuing on my quest for 1,000 Yds with by 23" Lilja 6.5 Grendel. This being my first precision/long range set-up, I am learning as I go. With that, I have spent a considerable amount of time reloading, chronoing & grouping @ 100yds. I feel very confident in the accuracy of my rig (1/3 MOA or better @ 100yds 5-shots) & my chrono data. Still working on perfecting the craft of the trigger pull. All that being said, it has been somewhat easy to hit steel out to 600yds with my 123-Amax chrono data, Strelokpro app. & 4-16 Vortex PST. 800 yds, not so. I have read a lot of post on here about the challenges past 600. Where I am shooting doesn't have berms (in FL, flat, humid, hot) so not 100% sure what is going on. I have been using different different G1 BCs from Litz/Hornaday & G7 BC from Litz which all show variations in bullet drop. In summary, why does the challenge become so much more after 600 yds? Thanks!
