Seeing your impacts on a rat field helps teach holdover and wind drift as well. I didn't see the impacts with my .220 Swift due to it's recoil however I see every one of them with the "little-case" .17's. (same drift and drop as a Swift shooting a 50gr. lead tipped spitzer or 52gr. match bullet at 3,950fps)
Same hold true for me with my bull barrel in .223--can see the shot which is very helpful..as to the swift..I have a Cooper in that caliber with a VX-3 6.5-20..shooting 50 gr ballistic tips at over 3900 fps..shots out to 400 are not an issue with that gun..over 400..figure out the holdover with the crosshair to 500 and you are good to go..
I do have a Nightforce on my 338 Lapua..but in that case I am headed for the 1000 yd game and beyond..
