When I shot them at 500 yards I hit the gong three times in a line just a fraction low but pretty much where it should be. I don't have a dial up scope on my 270 but I know that between the horizontal crosshair and the thick post on 9x it equates to 18inches so x 2 is 36 inches is how I raised my sights to try it out . Bit Micky Mouse but it does work although any further and it gets a bit hard to estimate. My COAL is 83.5 mm ( fits Tikka mag ok) , the BC for the 145 ELD x is .498

yeh i think the over all length for me stuffed it. I will load a few more and let you guys know. The gong just shows how well these new projectiles and that powder works. If i can get near your load I would be a happy man. Either my sloppy reloading or my fussy rifle is giving me grief.
