[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1338976, member: 13833"] Idaho Trecker and I went out doing some long range work on the Palouse today and I finally got to stretch the legs on the 225's. To say they are impressive is an understatement; on rocks at least! Our first stop was along a garbanzo bean field with a 6 foot rock about 5 degrees up a slope at 1604 yards. We had a pretty good wind from about 4:00 and we guessed we needed about 6 moa. The first shot was dead on vertical at 44 moa but drifted 2 moa left. I dialed 8 moa and sent another one downrange to VERY near the aim point which was about a 3" dark spot (probably lichens). We took turns from there and put numerous kill shots around the spot with Ryan finishing up with a HEART SHOT! We then moved to 1450 and 1100 with similar results. I used the average moa based on hornadys 3 tier system, (.372) and it was VERY close. Oh ya; the load was 83 grains N570 at 3050' which still has nearly 1000 ft/lbs. at that distance with retained velocity of 1460'. This is enough to expand these 225's based on earlier tests.......Rich [/QUOTE]
