Re: New Sniper Distance Record
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 6mmFan</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I ran some numbers through JBM just for fun.
Using a 300grain Sierra at 2750fps, altitude 5000ft, I am getting a velocity of 945fps and energy of 594ft/lb at 2707yards.
Drop from a 300yard zero is 4081 inches or 41.9 Mils. From a 800 yard zero the drop is 3674 inches or 37.7 Mils.
The bullet falls below Mach 1 at around 2000 yards. </div></div>
Ok, I may be doing something wrong here, but running a 250 grain Scenar with a G1 BC of .530 (I think they're actually a little less than that) with 3000 FPS at the muzzle and a 300 yard zero Berger's ballistic program is showing 743 fps and 307 ft. lbs. The drop is calculated at 6240 inches or 64.21 Mils...
Am I doing something wrong here but that seems almost impossible to get that much adjustment out of your scope? Enlighten me please I'm real curious.
