[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2282669, member: 101791"] I have several rifles. The one thing I try to come up with a load that travels @ about 3200 to 3300 fps. It doesn't matter if it's a heavy bullet or a lighter bullet. It's the velocity sets the drop. Wind is another story. That really depend on caliber and bullet weight that being used. The bullet path is about the same as long as the velocity is about the same. That way you don't have reinvent the wheel each time you are using a different rifle. my small caliber varmint rifle is another story. There I am running at 3900fps in a 55gr bullet. Especially if it's a rushed shot. Tring to remember what the drop is. You can dial your scope in to shoot the longer distances. Or you can tell the animal to hold while you remember what that drop is look it up. Back in the days of old you didn't have all the tools to determine where to set your scope. The range finder has cut down of problems in determining a distance. [/QUOTE]
