Thanks a lot! Was guessing 2400 fps max, so this looks good. Most 30-06 rifles cannot stabilize this bullet. I got a good deal on a barrel blank that happened to be 1-8 a few years ago, which should be sufficient.

Hi all Having some leftover Hornady 250 gr A-tip bullets after I sold my 300 Norma. I am going to sling them out of my 30-06, just for the heck of it. Not expecting much, but experiments are always fun. Can anyone with QL please help me? 30-06, Lapua brass 250 gr Hornady A-Tip Viht N560 powder...

The heavies still drift less in the wind at longer ranges. After a certain yardage the higher BC bullet overtakes the faster low BC bullet and has a shorter TOF too. Play with JBM. TOF is not equal to wind drift.

Thanks a lot for the data and tips guys! As for why, pretty much the same reason FTR shooters are often shooting 200-215 gr bullet from 308s. Slow high BC bullets equals lower wind drift at 1000+ yards. At least that's the theory behind it. I will test this to find out for myself, what works for...

Considering testing some real heavies in my 1-8 twisted 7-08. Could someone please help me with Quickload? I am using Lapua brass and have a 26" barrel. Load 1: 180 Berger Hybrid, COAL 2.95" Load 2: 195 Berger EOL, COAL 3.05" Powders I have are Viht N550 and N560. Thanks for your time :)

I too have a Vx6 on my trusty 280 hunting rifle. The scope has never let me down.

Thanks a lot DrMike, this really helps!

Hi! Developing a heavy load for my 308, using both Viht N550 and Varget. Could someone with QL please help me out here? Not a lot of data out there with the appropriate COAL. 308 Win, 26" barrel 215 Berger Hybrid COAL 3.10" Lapua brass Viht N550 and Varget powder Thanks in advance! -280shooter

I would really recommend the Wyatt magazine linked above. I love mine, and it allows a COAL at almost 3".

I really like to get off my belly and shoot from different positions. I have always concentrated on hitting those small targets from a prone supported position, so I didn't really realize that I sucked at pretty much every other position. Good shooting, really makes me want to head out and...

I think the 28N really shines with the new 195 Bergers. A friend of mine just got one, and he is sending the 195s at over 3000 fps. It is an absolute laser beam at longer distances.
