So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I don't remember posting an app, I think that was someone else.I use Hornady Ballistic calculator to get it close. http://www.hornady.com/After that, I log all of the elevation, windage, temps, etc. that I come up with at the range, reenter it in their system, and vola, a printable table that gets taped to the gun.
Ken,I see that trusty Harbor freight welding table in the background!Nice tables, I have two.
1000 yards...That is shooting!

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Save your time and get a spotting scope and get one with a mil-dot reticle, it helps your spotter understand how to give you corrective adjustments.
Yeah, I still drool over the one my instructor hashttp://www.eurooptic.com/carl-zeiss-optronics-hensoldt-spotter-20-60x72-spotter-60.aspxOf course he gets most of his stuff free from the mfg just as long as he does a write up and review...And there are many low priced spotting scopes out there. They will work. They higher price gives you ruggedness, low light transmission, and some clarity. But for most of us who aren't staking our lives or livlihood on it, the top of the line scopes are just a luxury.
Ken, doesn't the welding on the AR500 render it susceptible to damage from rounds?
I like the US Optics. Had a SN3 3.8-22 but traded it on NVG. I like that they are very custom built anyway you like it.Since then, I've gone to mostly Schmidt and Bender PMIIs with some NF F1s on ARsAnythime you get in the $3k range for a scope you get some real good stuff. I remember in one evolution in a competition we had to go over some obstacls and through a concrete culvert to get to position to make the shot and there was a guy with a GAP .260 bolt gun and a Hensholdt scope. SOB jumped over the obstacles and then threw the weapon through the culvert so he could get through the culvert faster and make the shot. It was a time/accuracy evolution. I just shook my head. That's when I knew I was not competitive enough. No way I'm throwing a $9,000 rifle and scope through a concrete culvert just to improve my time by 1 second.
Man, you wouldn't catch me throwin' any of my guns!
I have two GA Precisions. A 308 and 300.The first one is the 300 with a McMillan stock and the US Optics I had at the time. Its accurate too, about a 3/8-1/2 gun The 308 with my handloads shoots a 5 shot 1/4 group at 100. Its absolutely scary. It was built by Moon and is a remy 700 with jewel trigger, McMillan stock, and a Bartlein 19 inch barrel threaded for my Thunderbeast 30-P1 suppressor. It has the S&B PMII on it and that thing is a sweet stick.
^^^^ Crazy money right there!
US Optics.... I like that they are very custom built anyway you like it.
I'd love to easy access to a 1000yard range. I have a 600 close by but 1000 is a 5 hour drive.There is a 1000 yard about 35 miles from here but they don't allow steel. Rubbish!
Looking through his Zeiss scope:
