Re: Maximum Range?

From looking at Remingtons ballistic charts, it seems there is a drastic drop in the trajectory at 300+ yards, when your zeroed at 200 yards, with a 270 grain bullet.

250- drops 4.6"
300- drops 9.7"
400- drops 28.7"
500- drops 59.8"

So I guess my question is, do people really have the set ups to compensate for a 60" bullet drop? Does their reloaded ammo make that much of a difference from factory ammo? What kind of scope would you use for a shot like that? I'm not being a smartass, I really would like to know. I have never been a long range shooter, but I would like to learn. I would sure like to see a pic of a 375H&H set up to make those kind of shots. Maybe it's not the set up, maybe it's just practice. I know I'm not capable of those shots. Thanks Bryan

Edit- I should add, my last 3 elk and 1 deer, have all been 50 yards or less. I also prefer to be as close as possible!
