The hunt involved significant preparation, including hiking and dry-fire practice, culminating in a successful two-shot engagement on a bull elk.

This video demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet drop, particularly at 1000 yards. Experiments show directional POI shifts of up to 11 inches (over 1 MOA) when shooting East vs. West due to Earth's rotation. The data suggests collecting ballistic data North or South to mitigate this vertical error.

This video details the initial steps in transforming a factory Remington 700 Sendero into a long-range precision rifle.
