Take it as luck.
I’ve seen a number of tack drivers, plus my fair share of dogs.
You will get more of a no spin zone here.
The distance stuff, it’s just a matter of having someone that knows what they’re doing, help you, and then the majority of the mystery will be taken away.

I am not so much about efficiency, but about a performance level I want out of of project the majority of the time.
Sometimes, I want a specific cartridge, just because I want that cartridge :)
In 308 Winchester I'm weird....I have two specialty pistols: A 15.75" single-shot Remington XP-100...
Most definitely. I literally was talking about the same cartridge, the same powder, the same brass, the same load, the same brand of bullet, the same weight of bullet. Everything being the same except barrel length.
Fouling with mono's is partially dependent on how the mono is made, and the other part of that is is the quality of your barrel.
Generally speaking, if you look through a bore scope of a custom barrel versus a factory barrel you will usually notice a distinct difference.
Bullet choices are important.
Shot placement is EPIC!
Many hunters say, “I made a good shot,” when in reality they did not.
I have found this to be sadly true.
Most hunters do not do an autopsy and actually confirm where the bullet went, what it hit.
They just assume they made a good...
On steel there is no bullseye.
Depending on how I am holding on the target, my crosshair is not always at the center of the target, whether I am shooting on paper or steel.
Benchrest shooting on paper close or 1K requires different glass (High Magnification).
Benchrest shooting has...
I cannot says Thousands, but I can confidently say Hundreds of deer and hogs with the 168 grain A-Max and ELD-M's in 308 Win rifles.
Barrels spanning from 16" to 26"
I am not talking about myself here.
Have him get some Hornady TAP 168 ELD-M's.
They work great on tissue.
This was TAP with the 168 A-Max at 350 yards about 12 years ago.
14" 308 Winchester pistol.
I don’t have a problem with first focal plane reticles at 500 yards or at 1000 yards on steel or pd’s.
If, I’m doing 1000 yard bench rest or F class then I for sure will be using a reticle in the second focal plane, and the Turrets will probably be 1/8 minute of angle clicks.
Reticle...
MOA is great.
For hunting specifically, a regular plex reticle (SFP) with a good MOA Turret or a Ballistic turret will work great.
IF you want to use the reticle for shot correction or holdovers or hold offs, go with a reticle in the FFP/First Focal Plane.
If going with a FFP reticle, make sure...
"Friends don't let friends count clicks" 😇 :)
Counting clicks is not good-There are better ways
Either get a ballistic turret like I posted above for your scope...See if Kenton makes one for yours.
Get a MOA turret cap (If you can)...OR...Get a different scope
