Yeah, what the hell. Load is 96.4 grains retumbo 180 grain accubonds and apparently a pos chrony. My gun can't be that dirty can it? I cleaned it 8 shots ago, can a dirty gun screw it up that bad or do I need a new chrony? HELP PLEASE

That's fine. I'll be able to hold dead on out to about 700 yards..  :chuckle:

In reality, they are probably going about that fast. The ones we loaded with 98 grains were just pushing 3300.

Jeremiah,

Your chrony is whacked out.  I am shooting 100.2 grains of Retumbo and I am getting 3460fps.  A damn good group might I add.

See this thread about the 300 Rum sharing of data.

I FREAKIN' TOLD YOU GUYS... CHRONOGRAPHS CANNOT BE TRUSTED!

Now... just shoot the drop... and then go plug the numbers into a ballistics program... it'll get you close. I'd rather know the actuall drops out to 800... than know the exact velocity and trust a program (or a cooked-up BDC turret) to give me my drop data!

When you guys get it all figured out... we'll go out and do some long range bombing... maybe we could set-up a hunt-wa long range shoot... see who's who and what's what on steel in the hills out to 1k or so.

Hell... I'd miss by a mile if I could get rid of that thing!

Seriously though... I learn a lot when I go LR shooting with different guys. Everyone has a little different method of reading wind and angles and such... always a good time.
