Default RE: Hornady XTP Mag Ballistics

Using 240 xtp' s, 2 50gr pellets and number 10 caps, I was 3-4 low at 150 and 12" low at 200. Using 100gr 777, 209 and 240 xtps I was 2" low at 150 and 9" low 200. This is with a rem 700 MLS. I sight mine in at 1" high at 100 and max my range at 150..this lets me hold and fire. I don' t feel that with my gun and climate I can accurately and justify a shot at 200 yards, thus I set up for shots in the 100 yard range. I do agree a lot depends on the rifle, climate, etc and it is always best to shoot at the distance you intend to hunt at, but this should give you an idea.

Hope it helps[8D]
