So how many people here actually test their rifle and load at longer distances to determine the actual trajectory of their load in their gun?I find myself surprised to hear just how many people think that their gun shoots laser beams,and the bullet magically defies gravity.One of the most ridiculous statements that I have ever read on a forum was:
I have a weatherby 300 mag and 0 - 375 no drop and at500 8.5 inches low.
Anyone with any actual experience with the cartridge knows that even with a 300 yard zero,any 300 wby load is going to be far more than 8.5" low at 500 yards.In fact 20" low at 500 yards is a far more realistic figure.
