There's a better chance of me getting there n the 29th but still not hopeful.

We need to have a good pow wow about all of this techo stuff one day Stu because I am the sort of guy that doesn't give a toss about how fast a bullet goes or how heavy it is. All i give a toss about is that it hits the mark. On the new rifle, I proved to myself this morning that I need to spend a lot more time behind it just shooting the thing before I try to wring out too much from the performance of it as at the moment I am way too rusty at just plain shooting for accuracy. With the deer I never care whether I hit the heart in the left ventricle or the right atrium but as I am finding out shooting targets, that couple of inches makes a fucking big difference so I need to tighten up like a sphincter.

I can only help you with some of the techie stuff anyway, you know I can't long distance for S**t.
But ElB will expect you to have a drop table for the shoot so PM me the details of your ammo so I can get some info on it and then we will chrono the ammo so you have an accurate velocity to put into the JBM online program JBM - Calculations - Trajectory (Simplified)

I have made up a drop table from info on the Federal website and I have also down loaded the iSnipe software and taught myself to use it. The ammo I have is Federal Gold Medal Sierra Matchking 190 gr BTHP (300 Win Mag)
