Default Jug @ 1/4 Mile

This morning i satisfied a yearning i had for a while now. First tried to blast the jug using the PowderHorn scope, but missed 3 times. After switching rifles, the jug developed a leak.

VIDEO

The actual range was 452 yard. The rifle used was the Omega 45 caliber with the 2-7 VX-2 scope. The load was 200g SST, 115g BH, Harvester sabot, W209 primer. The ballistic program say this load need to be 19.79" high at 100 yard. The top dial on the scope was turned one complete revolution and then more for 19.75 moa increase in elevation.







One thing that caught my attention was the program say the bullet will be nearly 3' above line of sight at 250 yard.
