[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1656914, member: 229"] People were shooting 1/4 minute groups at 500yds well before ballistics software was around. You can dope a rifle for range and wind without a computer program (I won't lie, I'm lazy so I use JBM Ballistics' online calc as a starting point, but I always manually dope them out to as far as I can get to). You can also use standard turrets (they don't have to be tactical) to adjust for different ranges or just use holdovers if you've got the reticle for it. I can measure distance out of both reticles on either of my bolt-guns within a few yards and if you're really feeling lazy you can do a little prep work with google earth and eliminate most of the guess work if you know the area you will be hunting. I'm not trying to argue either, but you can in-fact shoot out to 1000yds with nothing more than a rifle capable of whatever accuracy you feel is necessary, a good scope, some good ammo, and a little home-work in math plus practice time behind the trigger. People were doing it years before any of the fancy stuff was invented. [/QUOTE]
