[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 373442, member: 20245"] Michael, was hoping you would post! Thanks that's some real good info on zeros. Never really thought of that. The problem is I can only shoot the 400 on my property, maybe 450 if I take the chainsaw to a bunch of trees. You took the time to write such a long informative post but unfortinualy I can't really answer with an equaly information ladden on. What you said makes perfect sense and now I feel stupid for not having done it :D I agree, 2844 is smokin! But, I fired 25shots through the chrony during load work up (only 5 at the charge I'm using now however) trebark was there and witnessed all this. He also shot his .280 rem through the same chrony just before and was getting the reading he expected (3100fps with a 140 nosler BT) so I don't think the chorny is off. The data I got from inputting my 300 and 400 yard drops gave me right around the same thing, and Roy's calculations are close enough to my real world drops that I wouldn't have noticed the difference shooting the clay disks. Therefore I'm reasonably sure my rifle is shooting them at 2800fps+. I am really heating up the barrel however... 3-5 shots and my barrel is cooking. And it's 1.25" in dia. [/QUOTE]
