Next time at the range I'm going to stay at my 200m zero and measure actual drop at 300 and remove any scope effect. Then I'll see how many actual clicks I need to dial on my scope to be bang on at 300, which is of more use to me than theoretical clicks at an estimated velocity.

Shot a few at the range today, still getting good groups (0.4-0.7 MOA at 200 and 300m). My rough estimations of velocity based on drop at 300m give me a muzzle velocity of around 2700fps which is way above book data. Next step is to check the BC is correct.
