    Love how you write down the real world data, I think a lot of people are missing this point. Train to the worst case scenario... no tech, no range finder (learn how to mil targets at various ranges), and no ballistic calculator. If you can do that, then everything else is just a cherry on top.

    Wow this is by far the best scope zeroing and mounting video ive ever seen knline i watched the first part awhile ago but just bought another scope so wanted to refresh everything and i really like the target setup and how useful it is to assure your scope is plum. I feel like ive never once sighted a rifle in properly now after seeing this usually i start at 50 get on paper and then move to 100 zero it and i thought that was good. But now i realize i might end up realigning everything ive built for the last 10 years. Love the plum bob method and im gonna get one of the electric levelers. Pretty cool. Really excited to use your target cause that explains why im busting things from 400 yards then after that it starts missing enough its a problem i would bet my scope isnt plum hell i didnt even use a torque wrench i didnt have 1 small enough back then but wow i feel like i just went to school again.

    My 6.5 likes Hornady Precision Hunter. New to the channel, I like it here. tx

    Must say I’m so impressed on all time you spend to do all material and the information provided, and your dedication you have for explaining , thank you and stay safe
  • @scott2228
    Measuring from turrets!!! THANK YOU. I’ve wanted to know this answer for a long time.
  • @FieroGTXX
    Bingeing your channel! So glad I got a LRA SendIt From you guys. It really one of the best options. No only can you use it on the rifle but as a tool to correct other mounts as well. Great vid!
  • @McgSpook
    i do like that target, time saver. i usually just draw the same or a 20 moa box thing to verify real quick. then load development starts....
  • @kevinfryer380
    Just getting into long range shooting. Your videos made it a lot easier for me to understand
  • @cfzippo
    Gary, Thanks for these two videos. Awesome information, and really helpful. I’m just getting back into the long range sport after a 30 year lay off, and for me and for the new shooter this training is awesome! Thanks brother!
  • @WvMnts
    Great content… Thank You for sharing. We appreciate ya. God Bless
  • @tims.9883
    Great video, very informative, thank you.
  • @JKGuitarPro
    Same exact experience with the 6.5 PRC ammo. Hornady was very inconsistent. Started using the Norma and it's so much better.
  • @jeffsikula2920
    It is also good practice whether you're testing scope tracking or in competition to dial past and then back down...for example: if you want 5.2 Mils dial 5.4 then back down two clicks. You probably wouldn't need to do this for PRS but many benchrest and F class shooter do especially if you have a scope with 'mushy' turrets.
  • @juanherrera2672
    I have some of those us optics targets and the bottom and right side squares are smaller so use a tape measure.
  • @ActinOut
    I haven't had much luck with hornady factory loads either. We'll see how they work on my 7 prc. I've scrapped hornady on my 30-06 and 6.5 prc. They've both had the same prob you've seen.

    When are we going to see a Paramount Tactical Data Book?? Great video, Gary!
