[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2368667, member: 100742"] They made me a program at the Bang Steel Shooting School. I was very surprised. They had a box on the printout called PBR (Point Blank Range. ) My 270 Weatherby Mag, shooting a 150 Grn. Accubond LR Bullet, with a G1 BC of 591 at 3000 fps , at 2800 feet in elevation has a PBR of 370 Yards. Thats a 12 inch square . [B]In theory,( which I do not ever[/B] [B]expect to test) [/B] I could be anywhere from 6 inches High at very close range, to 6 inches low at 370 yards.
