Valkyrie info for Kestrel

[Bergara 6mm]

Anybody have the bullet length for the Federal AE 75 Gr TMJ? This seems to be the only round my rifle likes for now, and now that its zeroed and shooting under 1 MOA, I want to take it to the 600 yard range; but don't have that data to load into the Kestrel.

If anyone has a G7 profile that would be nice too!

Federal lists both .4 and .35 in different places on their website for G1.

You can always just shoot it. At 600 just use velocity and it'll get you on pretty quick.

Sounds good, thanks!

For future reference it's a general rule of thumb that velocity is the main contributing factor out to 5-600 and BC trueing is done 800+. There are some good discussions on the subject here but for what your doing I think this method will work just fine. Remember to start close and walk it out. Tell the kestrel what the real world says and make them match that way.

Thanks! Makes sense.

JBM has a bullet length calculator and also I use Midway, in the bullet specs they often list length
