[QUOTE="subsonic, post: 16958, member: 1482"] Relevance of a subsonic 44 mag on a long range forum. Sighted in at 85m with a 300gn subsonic cast lead bullet the drop at 125m is 2mils at 250m is 9.8mils & in the wind it will drift 2moa at 125m & 3.9moa at 250m. If we compare this to a lapua 139gn 6.5mm scenar doing 3100fps at the muzzle sighted in at 300m we get drop at 600m 2.3mils & at 1200m 9.6 mils & in the wind at 600m 2moa & at 1200m 5moa. From the above we can see that shooting a subsonic 44magnum out to 250m approximates the drop and windrift characteristics of a 6.5/284 shooting lapua 139gn scenars out to 1200m. This is why I am looking for a scope that would be typically used on a long range rifle. [/QUOTE]
