So today to my delight I successfully qualified for my club's 600yd range. It's a brand new range which has been in the works since 2001. What an awesome and gratifying experience to not only reach out to 600, but to do so with my own hand loads! I was prepared as best I could be , which in hindsight made my doping pretty straight foreward. My only mistake was a miscounting of clicks from shooting 300 yds (4.5 MOA) up to my needed 600 yd's 16.6 MOA. I somehow misinterpreted my dope notes and went and extra 8 clicks too many which still got me on paper at 600 but I was way high and just off the scoring rings. I was very puzzled at the range why this happened, but did the corrective MOA math and got well into black within 2 more shots. Only after I got home and did some reverse elevation click checks did I realize my click counting mistake. The wind was very light so it made qualifying fairly easy, and my Rem 700 Varmint .308 using my most consistent 168smk load performed flawlessly ! 
Now i'm really looking foreward to "ladder" testing and learning wind hold overs !

.... that good feeling comes flooding back when you repeat the success at 1K.
