Joe & Others, Thanks for the clarification and getting the G7's for me. Nosler got back to me today and suggested I use the JBM ballistics calculators to convert their G1 values to G7 especially at yardages 800+. Now I'm much more clear on G7 vs G1 just need to put it into practice!

Thanks, I asked Nosler through their website so we'll see what they say. But using the same B/C will yield crazy results. Bullets in my gun are expensive even when reloaded so I want to at least be close at long ranges so I can make adjustments with fewer rounds fired. Thanks

Thanks for the link but I'm a little more lost now because I'm not sure if Nosler references to G1 or G7. I use the same B/C for both... might be the issue. I use 165 and 180 grain Nosler BST. I got the BST from the Nosler website on the bullets. And correction my Velocities were for the 165...

I've got the rifle and scope setup for some long distance shooting and I'm getting ready to start 1000+ yard shooting. So I just started taking my crono / bullet data looking to get some solid ballistic data. Here is what through me off, I was wanting to test the accuracy of some of the...

The .300 Wby is an excellent round. I've got the .30-378 but in the Mark V. The ballistics of the .300 Wby are not that much different at 0 - 500 yards, and the cost difference in ammunition and hand loading is significant. Plenty of custom aftermarket add-ons for either but you'll like the...

Got one on my rifle. Well worth it and I don't use hearing protection when hunting. It is louder but, your accuracy will increase greatly especially out at larger ranges. If you feel that much kick from your round, you may even want to look at a better butt pad for your rifle. I shoot really...

Is it just me or does the 1 to 1.5" difference in shot placement sticks out... For your rifle that seems excessive or indicates that your barrel is over lubricated after cleaning. Liquid is non compressible and if excessive could slow your first bullet and explain the large drop. Is this...

A little about me: Grew up in the Midwest state of Illinois, spent 6 years in US Navy and came down to Atlanta, GA in 98. Wanted to hunt large game when I did a stint out in CA so I got the only LR/T rifle that I own back around 99-200. I'm part of a hunting club that hunts on 350+ acres in...
