[QUOTE="BMcKell, post: 395597, member: 5091"] Just got back from the 1000 yard range. Tested the 300 gr Bergers. I shot a few groups in the 5 inch range which isn't bad but I was shooting 3 inch groups with the Sierras last time I went. I use the NF program and I put in the velocity banded G1 BC's. I was unable to get the predicted come up and the actual to match up. They shot .75 MOA low at 1000 compared to what NF said. When I use the SMK's, they are right on the money with NF. I put my info into the Berger ballistic program when I got home and used the G7 BC. It also had the bullet shooting low by the same amount. I chronoed every shot and they averaged 2900 fps. I know chronos are not always accurate so there can be a margin of error. I'm sure I could get everything to work if I played around with different velocities and I probably will, but for right now I will stick with SMK's for the coming hunts. [/QUOTE]
