[QUOTE="groper, post: 355600, member: 12550"] ok i just shot some of these today from my 338 edge @ 700yds and this is what i ended up with... rifle has 30in barrel, zero wasnt changed at all from my 300gr SMK @ 2940fps zero. loaded the predator solids with 97gr h1000 (AR 2217) claimed BC = 0.82 for 235gr .338 pill. @ 700yds i needed 2.3mils elevation to be zeroed at this range, the 300SMK needed 3.2mils (my 2940fps load) when i use their clamied BC of .82, that means the projectile was somwhere near 3400fps! i know this calc has some error due to the fact that it was not zeroed at 200yds like the SMK load, but still, alot of difference in required elevation at 700yds between the 2 loads as you can see. There was no pressure signs at this level, and i shot some more with 98grs powder and still no pressure signs. Im sure i could probably go upto 100grs without too much trouble. best group today was the 97gr load, 4inches @ 700yds. Not bad value @ $60AUD per 50 projectiles. [/QUOTE]
