I am shooting a Winchester Model 70 300 WSM rifle. I just purchased Trophy Grade Nosler 180 Grain 300 WSM. At the range, once I zeroed in at 100 yds. I went out to 200 yds. I was expecting a 3-3.5 inch drop at 200 yds, but the drop was actually 6.5 inches at 200 yds. Is this normal for the ballistics to be off by 3+ inches at 200 yds? Can it be a result of the rifle I am using?
Wind was 5-10 mph from behind and about 10 degrees left to right. Would this be enough to cause a drop of almost 2x the ballistic chart at 200 yds. Given the drop at 200 yds, what could I expect the drop to be at 300 yds?
Thanks for any insight you might be able to share.
