[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 174801, member: 7194"] Thanks Kirby. I was having a little problem/confusion trying to work out a drop chart until I remembed that my 100 yard zero had changed and I had not zeroed my dial. DUH, Just another newbie mistake...but I am learning(mostly from stuff I read here and my own misadventures). I am still working my way up to longer ranges so that I will be ready for that 338AM. Sometimes it is still hard to believe that a projectile can leave a barrel at 2800+ fps fly in a lazy arc dropping twelve or more feet and strike nearly in the same hole when everything goes right. Two years ago when someone told me that they could shoot a 1/2 MOA group with a nine pound gun at 750 yards I would have just rolled my eyes.(not that I understood what MOA was) Now that my eyes have been opened I just keep wondering what else a centerfire rifle is capable of. I love reading your posts because you keep pushing the limits. You and the other guys here have sure broadened my horizons. Please keep the info coming. I had a box of older 208s that flew pretty good, but this new lot is kickin it. I dont know what they changed but it worked. Plus they make a heck of a whack when they hit my 750 yard gong. [/QUOTE]
