Ok so I live in the straight wall part of Michigan well 1.5 miles south of the line so straight wall it is.
I have a 450 bushmaster but I'm not that into it. Just doesn't impress me. Plus i tend to hate other owners. Oh I can take a shot at a deer at 400 yards cause I heard you could. So they are very popular in the area. Lucky I have the only decent range past 200 yards in the area. So most these guys get to realize fast that that round has the flight pattern of a rainbow.
So long range can be considered different for different cartridges. So recently I purchased a 350 legend upper. It was very cheap so I didn't expect much. After break I'm and only factory ammo available so far I was not real impressed with the groups at 100. But just for giggles I went to 200 used the first drop hash and bam same group as 100 and perfect for elevation.
So I went 300 and used my bottom hash perfect for elevation again and again abut an moa group. After that I though hmm and tested on water jugs. At 300 it was able to go through all 4 jugs. I was shooting factory 150 grain ammo and the jacket was left in the second just and the lead went all the way through. I thought Awsome it will take a deer.
So as I've been spending more time with it the groups have tightened at 100 and stayed right at 300. Moa or better.
I'm very happy with this round so far and think I found a winner. It seems to outpace my 450 for drops at that range. After season I'll stretch it out and see how far I can get it out before it doesn't go througb two water jugs. Each jug is 6" thick of water. With 2" space between jugs.
Once hammer is done cutting a bullet for it the reload will start and hoping for something Awsome.
Picture is at 300 yards.
