800 yds ehhh..... the farthest i have ever shot was 925 yrds. with a rifle that was specially built for that kind of shooting with a scope for those kindof distances and if it was'nt for my cousin who has spent alot of time learning how to do this kind of shooting setting up the shot i would have flat out missed. I am confident out to 500 yds. max but what the boys at Best of the West don't tell you is all the homework that went into making those shots happen. They make it seem like all you do is get a Huskamaw scope and bolt it on and dial her up to the range the target is and pull the trigger.
The drop is the easy part to figure but its doping the wind to figure out the drift thats the hard part. Even if you go high tech with hand held computers and ballistics programs it still is a crap shoot to a certain extent. I am not saying it can't be done just that you need to do your homework and do alot of practice to make a shot at 800 yds.
