Bullet's flight.
Some rounds are known for destabilizing/pitching/yawing, and eventually tumbling and generally being useless when they hit the transonic barrier, and with the lower BCs and initial velocities typical in 308 win, it is something to be concerned about if you want to go much past 600.

Thanks for clarifying. My buddy knows his business and he's a competitive long range shooter himself. I was very confident that I could trust his "recipe".

1. I zeroed my rifle 1" high at 100 yards in the prone position but was shooting off of the tables at ENGC yesterday. Would the different position account for the additional 1" elevation difference that I saw in my first two 100 yard shots yesterday?

The position itself will not cause the change, but a change in your physical eye to axis of sight alignment and/or eye relief will. So will barrel fouling, atmospheric changes, headwinds/tailwinds (REALLY contrasting ones), powder temp, or any number of other things.

Not likely, but be sure to share if you do find something :)
Locations I know of/use:
Gresham: Private-900
Wilber: Private-1100
Dwight: Public Land-800 (have to hump your steel in about 3/4 of a mile one way)
Bennett: Private-1300
Broken Bow: Club-1000
Alliance: Club- Not sure, over 1000
Lexington: Club- 1600

Understood on the eye axis. I'm new to this long range stuff, but understand that from deer hunting.
Thanks for the tips on the shooting areas. I can get a little over 700 yards on my farm, but that's when the crops are out.
SeanN:
Best of luck to you guys. Keep training hard, it will pay off. :)
