I Phone?

Sounds like a neat ballistics program.

Contract is up in March and will probably get the I Phone. Thanks

Nice sig

Chet, just out of curiosity, have you tried the .195 barnes at those ranges?

Chet, in my 50 caliber rifles i measure around 2200 ft/sec muzzle velocity using the 200g Shockwave/SST. In the 45 caliber rifle, i measure around 2300 ft/sec using the same bullet. I have tried 130g BH in the 50 caliber, but have stopped at 120g BH in the 45 caliber. It seems to me your calculations are some optimistic.

Maybe you could post the lee loader chart on here so I can check the difference in drop at 300 yards. I know the velocity and energy would still be more than enough. The drop would be the factor as far as my scope being on at that distance without personalizing the reticles to the load
Thanks Ron

This might help you a bit... even though it is shot from a 45 - the 50 velocities will be in the area...
