[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 524323, member: 505"] I shoot at 5000 feet. 100 yard zero and I am 14" high at 800 yards. This was with the 338 winchester and the 338 SIN also shoots much flatter than the .432. Could be the scope height but I checked that and plugged in the proper number. Also it doesn't have the wind drift of a .432. More into the .5's. One of the forum members watched me shoot that set up last year and he was as amazed as me with the minimum wind drift. That is why I don't trust anything and just test the daylights out of stuff to see what the real numbers are. Some are worse and some are better. But this is why I hunted all over with the bullet last year. It proved it works in the field. By the same token the 180 grain nosler does not shoot nearly as flat and has much more wind drift than the 185 Barnes. The bc on it seems to be about right. I can't figure it. Takes someone smarter than me. [/QUOTE]
