[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 814125, member: 13"] Thanks! It was an afternoon of fun, with some potential expectations given the conditions. I would have been tickled pink to get a dog between 1400-1600 yards with the way mine is setup currently. [B]Benchrest loading techniques, tweaking bullet depth possibly, meplat trimming and pointing, higher magnification scope, and a Variable Gantry Mount or the Ivey (then I can use my higher magnification scopes) will get my rig ready for the races.[/B] If Berger will ever get around to producing the 195 Hybrid it will also be a game changer in terms of drift. That is why I picked up this 8T to begin with. Ideally, a heavier barrel would be preferred, but this one is better than nothing. If my barrel was heavier, I could always spot my own shots. I could spot a good number of mine, but not always. Plus, the Gunwerks brake is not intended to be the most effective in terms of felt recoil reduction, but rather do an effective job for a hunting rig, not be as loud as some aggressive brakes and still keep nice lines. Curious to chronograph the factory ammo. With a MV of 2850 fps, elev 4300 (180 Hybrid .674 BC) my drops and drift at 1600 is 50.75MOA 8.00MOA (10mph FV). Impact velocity is 1384 fps [/QUOTE]
