My 312290 checked and lubed weigh in at 225gr. I have not ran these over my Chrony yet
I load them in my Rem.700 308 with 20gr SR4759 for a SWAG of 16-1800fps?
Anyway. This load shoots very well for me so far out to 80 yards(could not get a 100 yard spot that day)
Running the estimated BC(.259) at my estimated speed these are going transonic somewhere near the 300 yard range.
My question is does anyone have any first hand experience with this long heavy 30cal bullet at distance?
I know that some designs are not affected as much as others while dropping below the speed of sound.
My goal next time out is to try to ring some 12" steel at 500 yards with these things.
It looks like they will be dropping around 38 MOA at 500 yards. So almost 16 feet.
Looks like I have right at 35MOA adjustment left
in my scope after a 100 yard zero. I do have a mildot reticle so that helps.
Thoughts?.....
