I have 69 grain Black Hills Sierra HPBT Matchking with a BC of .301 going 3040 fps. Those are calculated at 41.8 MOA. Then I also have Hornady 55gr SP, with a BC of .235. With those, it says I need 50 MOA, so those are a stretch. The 55gr V-Max though has a BC of .255, which is coming in at...

I definitely will. We have had some frequent "air stagnation" warnings around here lately. Absolutely no wind, smoke just hangs in the air...lol. It would have been nice for shooting long distances though.... :)

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the info.

I have a Savage model 10fp in .223 with a 1:9 26 inch bull barrel on it. It is a real tack driver and a fun gun to shoot. My question is, with the barrel that is on it, would it be able to reach out to 1000 yards? This is assuming optimal conditions and shooting at a steel target about...
