Oakdale yardage discrepancy

[hard h2o]

I thought it was well known that it is meters not yards.

If that little bit if difference is throwing his data off I want to meet this guy. He must be an incredibly good shot and an impeccably precise reloader.

So, i know all about the fact that the 200 yd range is secretly a 200m range, and that oakdale has it mislabeled. But a buddy of mine apparently has been trying to work loads up there for 3 years before someone told him it was "off".

He is livid. (Im ashamed to admit i thought this was hilarious). He was going crazy wondering why all his calculations were wrong.

This makes no sense. Your buddy sounds like a dumbass. Tell him to quit his crying and learn how to shoot.

If this rifle is for use in the field, what difference would it make? If he can't eyeball that the range is 218 feet and not 200 at Oakdale, how is he going to be able to range estimate that accurately in the field.

Sounds more like an anal retentive engineer type whose math calculations weren't matching real life.

Hey, careful there, that falls within the allowance for rounding considering I'm using my POST brand bamboo Slide Rule.

Besides - the guy complaining shot there for 3 years and couldn't figure it out - no way he could be an Engineer type.

For 16.6 yards at 200, suck it up buttercup. What are we talking about an 1/8"

Getting sloppy Slurpie..............it is 3.1750 mm on a 200m range ...............

FEET

YARDS

METERS

Who cares.

BOLD & Underline edited by me to point to error. We all make them.

Which is way less than a minute of bad guy.

.. unless the bad guy is an angry Leprechaun or small drone.

I just can't help myself, I must beat this horse.....

The leprechaun or drone wold need to be miniscule a the average hunting scope is likely to have 1/4 minute adjustments, which means 1/2 an inch point movement per click.as the change in point from 200 yds to 218.7 yds is only about 1/8 inch, the difference that makes no difference, is no difference. Ttthhhhbbbbttttt
