Default RE: Shot the Encore today!

ORIGINAL: formula1

I put a new Leupold scope on the T/C Encore 26" bbl .50 cal and wanted to get it dialed in. Well, ran out of time and didn't get a chance to shoot a group, but I got it shooting a shade over 2" high at 100 yds and dead on L to R. I'll try to get back to shoot groups soon.

I was wondering what the downrange trajectory for this load might be with that sight in. I'm shooting 300 gr Nosler Partition. 458 cal, 110 grains BH 209, MMP Sabot. I think muzzle velocity should be something around 1925 fps. Any ideas? Thanks!
Formula1;

I just worked up this load for my Triumph....
110gnv BH209
300gn Remington HP .457
1875fps @ muzzle [chronographed]

100yd +2.54 velocity 1655
125+1.681603
150 +0.001552
175 -2.51 1503
200 -6.071455

I got these stats off a ballistics program called PointBlank, free downloadable.

The one below is also a good and easy to use program.
