This is a great scope never been any further than the shooting bench less than year old. I am selling it because I want to go with a 12 or 15X binocular instead. $550 obo. PM me if interested.
I shoot the 180 bergers on top of 73gr H-1000 to get about 3070 fps. out of a 27" brux barrel. Shoots half minute angle or less all day. Longest shots so far out to 1640 yards. Love the cartridge but brass can be difficult to find sometimes as Dakota arms are the only ones distributing.
Let's assume that the reloading aspect is spot on. The gun shoots half minute of angle for sure to 600 yards and recently I have been smacking 24" 1640 yard gong without a problem. Playing with my ballistic calculator I just notice that 50fps makes a huge difference. With that said what would be...
What is an acceptable variation of muzzle velocity. I notice if I put into my ballistics program 70fps less its a whole MOA at 1000 yards. Not that I've seen that much but I have seen 40 fps difference in a shot string.
