[QUOTE="Catfish, post: 175503, member: 7211"] I hope that you have some idea of what it take to make a 600 or 700 yrds. shot. I just happen to have the drop chart for my .22-6mm in fornt of me. If my rifle is zeroed at 100 yrds. it will be 61.09 in low at 600 yrds and 90.31 in low at 700 yrds. This is a round strictly for lond range shooting as shoot very flat compaired to all popular hunting rounds. With a .25-06 shooting an 87 gn. bullet at 3,500 fps the drop at 600 yrds. would be 117 in. and with a 10 mph cross wind drift would be 76.76 in. That means that you have to carry a range finder and something to measure wind speed to even stand a chance at hitting your target. With my 80 gn. Sierra bullets with a BC of .420 and a wind of 4.5 to 5 mph and a 45 degree angle my point of impact moved 10 in. at 600 yrds. when the wind died. With the same seniro with the .25-06 the bullet would have moved closer to 30 in. [/QUOTE]
