Drift?
Wow! What a cool word for improper beeding.
I am sure it occurs for some rifles. You must know where Mechanical Zero is for your rifle at a particular distance. |

last time at 1000
My F-T/R rifle "lives" w/ a 600 yd zero and I lob 175/.30 at about the speed you mention. My 600 yd zero is +15MOA at 100, which I can check pretty easy at the nearby state range or even in my neighbors hayfield.
Last time I went to 1000, I put +23MOA (+38 at 100) on the rifle, which is what my log book called for, and shot my first sighter. My spotter advised to come down 1 MOA, which I did, (for +22, +37 from 100) and shot again. An "X" ! Man, I thought it was my day, two sighters and in the X ring! I never shot another darn x the whole day, 40 rds for record (two relays) and a good handfull of sighters the second time up. Some times I just wanna quit. But yeah........I think you get the wind right, or close,and a good squeeze, and you should be on paper with +40MOA up at 100. Maybe a tad high. |

Could not follow.
I need an additional apprx. 25 moa adjustments, up, from my 600 yard zero to my 1,000 yard zero depending on ambient temperatures. Where I come from we don't get sighters. |

Get yourself a Rav-Vin micrometer.
These are close copies of the P.J. O'Hare, which are very collectable. I have both, my Ray-Vin is tighter There is no way you are going to make any sort of decent elevation adjustments, particularly at 1000 yards with an 03 without this micrometer. A 1000 yard target frame is supposed to be about 8 feet by 8 feet, but in actual practice it is about 8 inches by 8 inches. You don’t have to be off my much to miss the darn thing. If the sticker shock hits you, just wait when they go out of production. I have not seen new P. J. O’Hare micrometers since the 60’s. And I don’t think they were made past the 40’s. http://www.ray-vin.com/ http://www.ray-vin.com/tech/rvinst/03sightmike.pdf
