My Elk load last year was 115 grains of T7 wonder wad and a 348 powerbelt. Out of an Omega this was dead on at 118 yards,and 6" low at
160 yards and 20" low at 200 yards,I shot this load a lot to verify these drops. This is with a peep sight. Under the right conditions I would have no problem taking a 200 yard shot.160 yards is very doable.
Right, but your velocities are alot higher than mine. I intend to continue with a much milder charge, although I have considered beefing up to extend range. When you go to the 460, you will find velocity distribution will have a larger impact on your spread. Are you shooting open sights? What are your patterns like at 160 yards with that load?
Happy Hunting, Phil
