[QUOTE="WildBillG, post: 2840758, member: 106952"] Well that is true MarkyMark todays high bc bullets are changing a lot of our shooting. Some of the new high bc bullets are not useabe in older rifles though due to slow twist rates. The slower powders have he;ped a lot too. I guess it is not just slower but different burn techniques have sped things up. Mostly it is the new powders makin fast cartridges even faster. Making for even flatter trajectories. Which at least to me makes 200yd and beyond zeroes easier. By that I mean less concern of shooting over your target because it was closer than you guessed. When shooting and zeroing your rifle I would say if 200 is your perfered zero. Shoot 200yds or meters where your range finder says that is. Because lets face it guessing range and shooting it increases your chance for a wounded animal. Even flat shooting rifles seem to drop more after 300yds. 300ydsseems to be the point where drop rates become much more apperent. If some one can explain this I would like to here it. There are some things in shooting that make no sense. With my 338 RUM 300grn Berger combo speed seems to drop more from 0 to300. Than it does from 300 and beyond. [/QUOTE]
