9/18/10 Eck-plo-shun at 425 and Couple of hits at 1000

Lets cut to the chase.   Today I set up an exploding target at 425 yards, and a paper target at 1K.  Gun: Savage 308.  For the first shot on the exploding target at 425, I used 32 clicks, but that went over the canister.  I took 2 clicks out, but the next shot didn't make any dust.  I figured that meant that I had hit the tree stump and was therefore low.  On my 3rd shot at 425 yards, I used 31 clicks of elevation, and the target went BOOM!

Given that the last 2 times I shot at 1000 yards I had to use different scope settings with these same bullets, I wasn't sure what to dial in.  I used 133 clicks of elevation and as you can see, that wasn't quite enough.  I fired 6 shots, and only 2 of them found their way into the cardboard.  The other 4 were low and sprayed all kinds of debris up onto the target making this an ugly picture.  Next time I should use 135 clicks, if I shoot Black Hills Match 175 gr.
