[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 983529, member: 63748"] FWIW, I conducted drop validation on two Berger bullets three weeks ago, the 230 Hybrid and 300 Hybrid. MV was in the 3100’s and 3300’s respectively. Twit was 1-10 for both rifles with a DA equivalent of roughly 6000 ft. An Oehler 35P measured the velocities and adjusted to muzzle. The target was set at 1510 yards. I used Berger’s published G7 in the program. Two shots with each rifle were taken quickly followed by one shot each rifle a few minutes later. Group center was 1” high and 3” high respectively with slightly over ½ MOA for wind correction with the 300’s being less. The first two shots with the 230’s grouped less than 1”. Validating drop charts at a range of 1510 may not be sufficient for many with the 1” and 3” drop correction needing adjusted to true for the initial input BC. For my purposes, hunting max range around 1600 yards seems reasonable. All I can say is there would have been sufficient accuracy and precision with the Berger bullets and listed BC to hit the vitals on elk 6 of 6 shots……during validation! When conducting drop validation with other manufacturer’s bullets with advertised BC’s, I’d be lucky to even hit the target at 1510. Just saying! [/QUOTE]
