[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2044464, member: 14204"] Agreed! [USER=109080]@Jpron[/USER], try plugging in the load information on Berger's ballistic calculator ([URL]https://bergerbullets.com/ballistics-calculator/[/URL]). The drop should be lesser at higher altitudes (i.e., 350Y drop @ 850' vs 350Y drop @ 7200'). If I ran one of my .300 WM, 190g Berger VLD 3043 MV, I get the following drops ... 350Y @ 850' = -15.68" 350Y @ 7.2K' = -14.91" Also, please verify if he is 2" low vs. 2 clicks low @ 100Y and 6" low vs. 6 clicks low @ 350Y, just throwing it out there. In either case, it never hurts to do final sight-in at the actual hunting grounds. [/QUOTE]
