I am in the same boat with the trajectory as I have no idea what speed the .338 will be doing. I'll spot for you if we are on the line at the same time Friwi.

Righty -
338 LM projectile 300 gr Sierra matching with 89.5 gr of Adi 2225
300 Win mag projectile 208 gr with 67.5gr ADI 2213SC

Not sure on the barrel length Rushy will have to measure his own barrels....

Don't panic Rushy, you are still way ahead of me. I still have not put on a scope nor put a round through mine yet.

So it looks like it is going to be a gaggle of guys talking shit and making excuses then GM. It probably was always going to be the first.

Just need one person to bring a chrony.

Sort ya shit out guys. You've had 12 months

If i remember in time one target will be marked in inches vertically at 400yrds

Then you can adjust your velocity in your ballistic calculator to match your actual inches of drop

That sounds entirely to technical for me

Dial for 400yrds
Hit target
Measure projectile strike on target (in inches) through your scope

Change velocity to match actual projectile strike height

For the guys that need to check velocity etc

This target will be mounted vertically using a builders level (so you can check your scopes level) and be set up at 400yrds

It has a 4 inch dot with graduations descending in inch values from the centre of the dot down to 77 inches

Aim at the dot without dialling, your ACTUAL projectile point of impact can be observed and recorded by you or someone on a spotting scope

After that you can, (if you want to) just dial half the moa required and record your projectiles drop in inches, that data then enables you to check your scopes elevation graduation value.

Adjust your velocity etc in your ballistic calculator to match your actual point of impact, then continue to harass the rest of duncans gongs
