[QUOTE="KH_Outdoors, post: 3104110, member: 123559"] Quick "long range" day to verify drops & true a BC with the 225 Copper Rose load. Baseline's: 225 CR 2960 fps .600 G1 (estimated starting point) 100 yd zero Started with a 100 yd zero check: (Disregard that beautiful little 3 shot group from the other day 😁) [ATTACH type="full" alt="1715517221497254164968612824974.jpg"]571191[/ATTACH] Next out to 400 yds. Had a 10-15 mph left->right wind, hence the horizontal. Vertical looks pretty good! Note the copper splash marks on the steel. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20240511_101428.jpg"]571192[/ATTACH] Next out to 600 yds, first couple shots below, again noting the copper splash: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20240511_101852.jpg"]571193[/ATTACH] Approximately .2-.3 moa low with the .600 G1 BC. Again, pretty good crosswind (holding 3.0 moa left), but very little verticle. Corrected to a .550 G1 and shot two more at 600: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20240511_102054.jpg"]571194[/ATTACH] Pretty easy day! I'd love to geek out a little more on the BC's when time allows but I would suspect that most everyone will land between a .550-.600 G1 BC on these. At 600 yards that is literally only the difference of ONE 1/4 moa click on the scope. Next outing, if wind cooperates a little better we'll stretch it a bit more! For the rifles intended use of sub 600, and for big stuff in Alaska we'll call that good to go! Time to load up the rest of my ammo and pack a bag for spring bear! 😁🤘🏼 [/QUOTE]
