I am curious though. Have you shot at intermediate ranges yet? Something like 275 or 25o just to see where the bullets impact in regard to your dial. I imagine at these ranges you have a pretty good arc.
With this rifle i have shot at 100, 200, 300 yard. Other rifles i have shot at 225, 271, 322, 290, and 371 yard. The dial used today is engraved for 1925 fps muzzle velocity. Photo is group shot at 271 yard with an X7, and a different dial engraved for 1885 fps muzzle velocity.








I think what i have found is if the muzzle velocity is close to what the dial is engraved for, the bullets pretty much hit where the dial say they will. More shooting certainly will be more instructional.
