[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1967883, member: 29953"] Ok I got out with my Gunsmith Gary Flach to do a little shooting the last cpl of days, we were lucky enough to find a spot to shoot 100/700 and 800 yards, we were shooting 12 inch square steel plates at 700 & 800 yards, wind was was very erratic but with spotting for each other we could correct and hit the plates with consistency, I ask Gary how many MOA to raise for 800 yards with my 6.5 RPM using Berger 156gr Elite Hunters doing 3068fps....he says go 14.5MOA I shoot and whack the 800 yard plate in the middle, I checked the Berger Ballistic Calculator it was 14.59MOA ! I ran a string up from my load of 65.0grs of R26/BR2 Primers, New Wby brass (thanks todbartell) and 156gr Berger Elite Hunters 65.0-3068 65.3-3089 65.6-3108 65.9-3126 66.2-3145-slight tight bolt lift 66.5-3148-slight tight bolt lift and light ejector marks, I stopped there.
