Gun: Remington 700 Sendero in 7mm Rem Mag
Scope: Burris XTRII 5-25 mil dot
Ammo: Handloads, 70.3gr Retumbo with 154gr Hornady SST
Velocity: 2870 ft/s
Zero: 100yds
According to calculators, I was expecting the drop at 300 yards to be 10-12" or about 1.1 mils. I finally got to shoot at 300 recently and found that to hit the bullseye I only needed 0.4mil of adjustment, which would be about 4.3" if I'm calculating that correctly. I can't find anything published that lists such a small amount of drop. I didn't re-verify my 100 yrd zero, but shooting at 100 and 200 yards is next on my list to verify point of impacts for each range.
I was just curious if anyone else has experienced much less bullet drop than what is expected.
