[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1674109, member: 29370"] provided you have consist reloading practices you might not be on a node or on the upper or lower end of it... try some three shot groups at 41.2, .4 or .6 and if 41.8 is not max try 42.0, .2, .4 and see if you get more consistent ES also realize that even with an ES of 20 or even 30 fps at 500 yards you'll not even notice it on steel or hide I'd say even 40 fps won't be much I shoot out to a mile plus here in Colorado on a regular basis and compete in PRS so I can understand you wanting single digit or low teen ES but at 600 yards or less 20/30 ES and a .5 ish 100 yard group is all you need. just for comparison look at what the drop is in your shooting app between 2767 and 2805 at say 600 yards? its probably not even 2" and I bet you can't hold the 2" difference because your reticle stadia lines will block that much at that distance even moreso when you go even longer I find that there are a lot of arm chair shooters in these forums and when they don't give advice with detailed explanation a lot of shooters start going down rabbit holes chasing shadows. find a few solid knowledgable shooters in the forums and stick with them when seeking advice while gaining your own knowledge base but again make sure who you talk with is actually shooting at distance and has experience and not simply regurgitating what they've read pm me if you have more questions [/QUOTE]
