Default RE: bullets drop faster than normal??

Based on your results and similar loads that I have chronoed with that bullet and powderI would guess that you are right around 1800fps +/- 50. At that velocity you can do as suggested and sight in 3" high at 100 yards and you should be dead on around 140 to 150, down around 4" at 175and down about 8" to 9" at 200. The energy should still be above 800 fpe at 200 so the load should work if the placement is good. As mentioned, verify these numbers at the range and make sure you practice at the extremes of the range you plan to hunt at so you know what the load and YOU can do.
