[QUOTE="MontanaMarine, post: 1024009, member: 268"] Today I tested the 190 ABLR for accuracy at 100 yards, and drop at 1120 yards. Conditions were 4300' el, 30F, 5-10 mph full value wind. I started off with a 5-shot 100 yard group, of .85", mostly lateral spread, some of it wind. Shot another 5-shot 100 yard group at the end of the session, it was about 1.0 moa, again spreading lateral. Both 100 yard groups showed less than .5 moa vertical spread. For the 1120 yard shots I ran a drop chart using the hornady website calculator. Input local atmo conditions, and used Litz's BC of .569 G1.
