[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 833053, member: 2261"] Yrcan You must be shooting a 338/408 or similar cartridge to reach 1010m/sec and use 103 gr. VV570 as your load. You must be using the newer 300 gr. Bergers, as the older lots would not tolerate those velocities. The good news is the newer Berger 300s transition very accurately (as Broz and others can attest) I agree that the bullets were stable if you could get them to group at all at 1,000 meters. From my experience if they are marginally stable they will group at your 690 meter distance, but will not group at all at 1,000 meters. The low hits at 1,000 meters were most likely telling you the bc was than expected. My experience with 338 caliber solids tells me that your inability to see hits at all at 2200 meters relates to the projectile having a lower than expected BC and not transitioning well as it went subsonic before it got to 2200 meters.
