[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 1711328, member: 10"] Windy as heck at home this morning but calm at the shop so set up to do a bit better zero at 100 yards with the new 25 Stalker and its load of the 100 gr. Barnes TTSX loaded to 4135 fps with 103.0 gr. Ramshot LRT. After seeing what the 110 Accubond was doing, still a bit worried about this combo. [ATTACH=full]149142[/ATTACH] Turns out, this rifle really likes the 100 gr. TTSX at this speed!! Seeing this, i took 1.25 moa out of the vertical and set the zero stop and zeroed the turrets. Headed up to my long range shooting area. Started right out at 845 yards. Wind was terrible, 12-20 mph constantly varying wind from 3:00 to 5:00 position. Horrible. Just confirming drops anyway. At 845, impacts were 1 moa high. Moved to 615 yards and same 1 moa high. Tweaked the drop chart to bring it into focus with the actual trajectory and then tested at 300, 415, 450, 600 and 710. All distances drops were dead on the money except 710 where it was still impacting around 3/4 moa higher then it should have been. Seeing all the other distances being dead on for drop, i believe the issue at 710 yard is there was some updrafts with the wind racing up the side wall of the valley i was shooting at. Windage was an issue. When consistent, easily under 1/2 moa for the pair of shots i took at each range. Even in worst conditions for wind though, it still held 1 moa windage variation at most and again, it was windier today they i would ever take a shot at big game in at ranges past 600 yards. Great first test. Hoping the wind will lay down for tomorrow morning and i can get one more range session to verify drops and fine tune if needed. Right now, totally confident out to 600 yards no problem. [/QUOTE]
