[QUOTE="Broz, post: 401456, member: 7503"] Sorry Phorwath, I didn't rezero or even check it. I was trying to shoot them quick to get close to same FC's for each. I do remember that they were close at 300 with only .25 or .5 moa difference in elevation. All I did was change the velocity and BC in exbal to get my come ups for each bullet. The SMK load has one more gr of powder and a bit more MV. I left the windag on zero. I also compared the ups with LB as I have both traks ( Berger and SMK's) saved in it. I am not sure the Bergers are drifting left. Both POI's were right but I feel it is fair to say that definatly the Bergers drift right much less. Especially since the wind L to R picked up for the Bergers. I await time and low or no wind conditions to shoot more. If I continue to see this left pattern, I have another NF ready to go on for a scope test. On one hand I would love to say it was just me being fooled by the wind. But if this is true, I will feel pretty stupid for what I have put in print here. I guess this is what comes with opening your log book for the world to see.:D Another thing is. I have always worked with in 1000 or 1100 yards for testing. Although I shot to 1400 and farther once in a while I did not use it as my effective range. For sure when you step out farther your imperfections are magnified greatly. The good news is. When I get this windage under control, I feel I will have increased mt effective range to engage a cold bore target substantially, and that was my goal in the beginning. Jeff [/QUOTE]
