[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 325, member: 34"] Hello Maybe I'm missing something in your post but, 22MOA plus 10 clicks for an 1800 yd plus shot from a 224 Clark? I have a 22/284 which we can compare to the Clark and it has a 30" barrel with an 8 twist and I use the 80 Sierra MK bullets. The speed I run mine is 3300 FPS becasue of the accuracy. I have run it to 3500 FPS if I didn't care about the brass any longer. I'm most certain the Clark is not doing much better then that(3500 fps) in the velocity arena using an 80 grain bullet. Then again, maybe I'm missing something. Running the Ballistics at 3500 FPS with an 80 Gr Sierra MK bullet (.420BC) I find that you would need 22 MOA ("88" 1/4 Min clicks) at 1000 yds and 88 MOA ("352" 1/4 Min clicks at 1800 yards. An extra 10 clicks would not have made the trip at the reported range you hit the Fox. My question is, what rangefinder are you using and is your zero scope setting 100 yards to start with. If you have a Nightforce scope with the ladder grid, you would have had to be all the way down on the last grid at least and then maybe 10 more clicks. My 22/284 with the 80 gr bullet has penitrated a hardwood bowling pin at 1000 yards and the exit holes were about the size of a silver dollar. It would most certainly kill at that range. I'm sorry if I have missed something but, 1800 yds with 224 bullet and only 22 moa PLUS 10 CLICKS from a 100 yd zero is impossible. The 6.5/300 Weatherby with a 30" barrel and 8 twist would be my pick if I were in your local and doing what you are doing. That combination will knock those 122# wolves off their feet and keep them down. Good luck to you. Darryl Cassel [ 07-29-2001: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
