Pglasgow,
You may be correct, I just went by the shooting results of about 1" high at 25 and dead on at 75 and threw in velocity numbers in my ballistics calculator till I came close to those results. It could very well be off since I didn't do an exact measurement of the bullet impacts. The good news is, my chonograph arrived today so I'll be ready the next time out to verify the velocities. If it is around 1300 to 1350 it will mean I can use an 8" PBR and shoot to 150 and be within +/-4" with that load and still have around 1300fpe at 150 and 1200fpe at 200. Drop at 200 would be around 28" so, if the distance is known, an elk would be big enough to shoot at that range by holding just about a foot over the top of the back.

Eldequello,
I'm not sure where Ojo Feliz is but I do think I was lucky. The house I used the phone at was the only house occupied within about 2 miles and I would have had to climb over at least 1 hill to reach the next nearest house.
