Very nice.

Will have to find something other than paper now…

Tac driver

Perfect Canterbury day to stretch the legs (of the rifle, I drove) on the range at 600y (608y on the rangefinder). Keen to test Strelok table. 3 shots quite low but a very tight group. Muddled around and ended up with SMOA selected (not sure if best option?) But gave me 10.16 MOA so came up one click to 10 MOA and fired one shot that took out the center left bullseye. Very happy. Shooting off mtn gear bipod with gunbag used for rear rest. Usually keep spray cans a metre left of target but revisiting that after the orange can caught shrapnel....

Nice one. I shot a fallow doe on Friday at 649 yards, took two steps and fell over. My furthest shot with my 6.5 PRC so far.

Superformance is what I used in my 6.5prc with the 147elm, ragged holes

Also good in a 7saum with 140 hammers

Cheers am getting 162ELDM @ 2950 in my 20" 7saum with Superformance and very pleased with grouping.

Decided to stay on MOA rather than SMOA and dropped strelok speed to 3090 fps and now lines up well at 600y.

608y to be precise...

@Gkp how grains SF were you using with the 147?

Need to adjust your bc out that far, should be 0.606 I believe.

The litz bc is .571 im using the litz bc for the 180eldm of .707 rather than the .796 from honardy and the speed from magneto speed and elevation is spot on to my tested 800 yards be intresting to see what strelok tells you if you change your bc and use your original mv

Just ran it threw appied ballistics with a couple of guesses ie zero range of 100yds and scope height of 1.5inch and it lines up well with your trued data @Tikka7mm08

Validated shooting is where it’s at, that’s one tidy group at 608yrds. Nothing will be safe.

Don't fuck with your bc, just use your truing function in your app which is using real data.
And yes litz's bc is the correct one to use!

So change to Litz BC (single BC) and keep 3130fps?
