    you happy with rifles balance,assumably its shooting good groups still..... so where is the problem????
    bottom line if your going to dialup/twiddle n fiddle you need a few more clicks..whoopdeedoo the deer wont care as andy has said,dont over think it.
    Well it's calibre dependant on the loss of fps plus the drop of say 24" to 20" it will be X amount of FPS per inch and from 20" to say 14.5" it will be X amount of FPS per inch.

    But as you have rightly pointed out for this case the deer at 300y will not know the difference.
