[QUOTE="stress-relief, post: 360977, member: 705"] Thanks for the comments. I do have a chronograph and will have to run some 200 grain Accubonds through it again to determine the SD/ED of this load. The 200 grain Accubond has a BC of .588. When I develped the load I wasn't too concerned about SD/ED because the load was plenty accurate for normal range hunting. Are there ballistic tables somewhere that will give me the effect of moving the elevation turret at various ranges? For instance if I'm shooting at a target 600 yards away, how much will a 1/8 MOA (the Monarch has 1/8 MOA clicks on the scope) adjustment up or down move the trajectory up or down in inches? I know the charts would be approximate and would have to be proven in the field. The same info would be needed for the windage turret. How can I learn to estimate wind velocity by looking through the scope in the vicinity of the target? Are there some videos or on line web sites that could help me learn? I realize I have a lot to learn. Thanks for your help gentlemen. [/QUOTE]
