[QUOTE="Ombre noire, post: 1066755, member: 69945"] Hi longrangehunterII Regarding the elevation, after corresponding with a few members here and on other forums, we are slowly figuring out a couple of ways to check things out a better way. Next time at the range, we will check the tracking on both of our scopes and we will re-check the speed of our reloads, this time using the same chronograph on the same day. This could give us part of the answer. We will also re-check how far our reloads are of the lands; so far we know his are too long to fit in his mag, mine are still GTG in the mag. "If that was the case, why would he only be dialing .25 MOA more and yet still using 2" more barrel= an easy 50-60 fps. alone." And he uses 91.5 gr of H1000 vs 89 gr in my reloads. Eventually we will figure it out; could be some mistakes in the original numbers, maybe some tracking differences. Somewhere, somehow, we will find there is a logical explanation. Regarding the 2800 fps, I had no preconceived idea, good or bad, for it or against it. Someone, on another forum, with a serious amount of knowledge, mentioned that number to my friend but did not quite explain why 2800 fps were necessary, so I asked the question on LRH, as well as other forums; lots of info and most answers were helpful. Even Bryan Litz pitched in, as he is shooting a TRG 42, 300 Berger and H1000 as well. The "elevation thing", well, that came as extra but and whatever it is, we will figure it out. The bottom line is that we both have our dope and ringing steel with it ;) Thanks for your input, I will post a follow up after we will check the tracking and speed. Good shooting to you gun) [/QUOTE]
