[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 101184, member: 1403"] POP There could be lots of variables and what not to the BC. But I would guess its in the high .490's. Like I said, it was off by 11 clicks. My first 2 shots were about 2ft low. Also another note, I had those 10 shells broke into 2 groups. The first 5 were loaded with a different lot #. When I got to the 6th shot, the new start of loads with new lot #, they were shooting about 1.5-2feet lower then the first lot. So that got me thinking my new pound of powder is slightly slower. It took me 2 shots to get that elevation right as well. I wanted to see the difference of what powder lot variation had. It does make a difference thats for sure! Its a nice day today, maybe 5mph winds. I'm going to load up 10 more and see what happens. I'll post the results later tongiht sometime. Oh yah, the 180g still hits hard, but nowhere near the 210g or 220g class target bullets with a higher BC. I also had to put on a lot more clicks for wind. I think I was around 25 clicks on windage.
