[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2144582, member: 7999"] Finally got a chance to calculate all the drop data for the two rifles. Always interesting when two rifles come back with different results on the same range session. 1st rifle is our 300wm Rem 700 Long Range factory barrel. Sightron S-tac 4-20x50 mv= 3320 fps zero= 200y barometric pressure= 25.62 hg temp= 48* humidity= 28% 785y correction= 12.5 moa results in g7-bc of .243 (very close to the estimated bc of .246) 2nd rifle is a Rem 700 with a Proof 28" carbon barrel 1-10" 300 rum Leupold vx-5 3-18 mv= 3400 fps same atmosphere and zero as the 300wm 785y correction= 12 moa results in g7-bc of .232 Whether the difference in the two rifles is the optics or the barrels effect on the bullet I can't say. I feel pretty good about the .243 g7-bc from the 300wm. This rifle setup has proven to be pretty good with everything we have shot in it. I will change the estimated bc to the shot drops from the wm.
