[QUOTE="KPB71, post: 455023, member: 6227"] Question~ This is kind of long (sorry), but I have included all the info I hope. I was out shooting today using a Savage 10 FCP HS precision 1:10 twist and 24" barrel W/ Scope: Leupold Mark 4 LR/T M1 Mildot 6.5-20x50 Bullet: 175 smk B.C. .496 Lapua Brass CCI/BR2 Powder: Varget 44.8 gr. I was shooting at 600 yards, temperature was about 5 degrees w/ no wind. The gun is zeroed at 200 yards. The scope was set at max power (20x). Noslers reloading guide drop table indicates that the drop for 600 yards at a velocity of 2700 fps should be -82.5. I set up a target marking the -82.5 drop, however, in order to hit the mark I had to use the 2nd mildot down in order to make the target instead of the 4th mildot. What should the bullet drop be at that distance based on the information above? [/QUOTE]
