The Dartman and the neighbor take down a big o' male coyote at over a mile.
We believe the 300 made the hit. This is our shot data.
The 300 win mag - 2768 fps with 208 amax = 3.490 second time of flight.
The 338 papua- 2778 fps with 300 berger = 3.019 second time of flight.
The 338 should have hit about 0.4 seconds before the 300 and making us conclude the 300 made the kill.
more info- 300 win bullet drop @1860 yards=84.5moa or 1645 inches=137 feet of bullet drop. Energy at target-484 fp.
338 lapua @1860yards=65 moa or 1266 inches=105 feet of bullet drop. Energy at target-1012 fp.
Is $300 too much to learn it?

Obtuse or stupid?
The classic image from a long and hilarious over-the-top photoshop frenzy! I still remember that my stomach hurt from laughing MAO for an entire evening, and particularly this image that sealed the deal. Thanks for resurrecting this one!

You never did answer whether you thought it was a worthwhile skill to have. Your history isn’t the norm amongst the men and women I shoot with.
