Thread: Varmint rifle for about that 350m max range?

I'm feeding it a steady diet of Fiochi at 90c/round and no handloading, which I just do not have time for right now. It now wears a scope with a ballistic reticle I have not played with yet, but with the Bushnell Elite it had on it, 350m was just a bit below the tip of the thick part of the cross hairs and it was comfortably minute of rabbit. I might think twice about one lying out flat at that range, but I would still hit it 4 times out of 5. My new reticle is a strange one, but is like having 5 sets of cross hairs. Should be fun.

My point is my set up is cheap, and the trajectory in this Fiochi is pretty sad. 50" of drop at 350m. BC of .25. As it is sighted in for that trajectory, then it is an non issue, but there is some shagging around involved.
