    Go back to the shadows young man lol.


    There is my drop chart, using 2209, I would say 2700 is doable

    Is that with 140 Berger? Using CFE223 my 18" A7 is 2800fps with them and groups very well so they can perform alright. Ive only ever shot one deer with that combo though, preferring the 120NBT at 3K (for no good reason though). Ive shot deer out to 525 yds with the 120 (did Craig tell you that James shot one at 391 yds with it on Monday night with me - he got 2 with it).
