[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1531424, member: 33046"] I don't believe its an argument, rather a discussion, but second or third party information isn't gospel and those that are looking for information or reading this post need to understand that there's a lot to consider when shooting longer ranges. I understand that [U]you feel[/U] your current load is good to 300yds. However, it has below what many may consider acceptable energy at that range. Then one has to take into consideration if the bullet will even perform properly (designed) at the reduced velocity and energy at that range. Here's a possible example of your current setup. A wind of 10mph was used to calculate the drift. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/GtHQtHVx/250gr-w-2-pellets.jpg[/IMG] Yes, you could increase the bullets energy at 300yds, if you went to the maximum charge [U]as designated in your rifles owner's manual[/U]. You could also increase the bullet energy if you changed to a higher BC bullet. Its easier to discuss, provide possible examples and learn. Sorry if you feel I'm calling your baby ugly. I've been there myself. However, we never know who may be reading the posts on forums. There are things we shouldn't just make a guess at. No mater how much anyone knows, there's always more to learn. [/QUOTE]
