[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1371724, member: 97196"] Earnhardt. Here are the final notes from my phone as i was matching the actual bullet trajectory to by ballestics app prior to the hunt (sighted in at 300 yards, 1.5” 4 shot group all in a 2” bullseye). Please note: the MOA listed below were actual on target turret adjustments while the velocity and G7 I manipulated slightly in the app to match the actual trajectory: 338 Edge - 285 ELD-M 91.5 gr Retumbo 2845 fps Pressure 26.66 inHg G7=0.407 0 MOA @ 300 yards 27.75 MOA @ 1210 yards 69.75 MOA @ 2000 yards With the above settings in the app accuracy was confirmed with shots at 500 and 750 yard. I believe I loaded these 0.025 off lands simply because of magazine fit. The heavy barrel on this rifle maintains accuracy well when heated with 4-shot groups but not fun to carry. As I mentioned earlier I had no success using h-1000 with the 285 ELD-M and almost gave up on them. Gave it one more try with Retumbo and groups flattened at 2850. I was short on time so I just went with it. I had no pressure so I may have been able to push it a little faster. [/QUOTE]
