I know the velocity is fast enough as I used the combination last year. The reason for my question is to plug the information into a ballistic calculator to determine drop and such. I went to the range yesterday and shot a total of five rounds with the load from my original post.

I was laying prone on the ground shooting from a front rest and was nice and steady. My first two shots at 50 yards were touching almost dead center two inches above the bullseye. My next three shots were from 100 yards away. Shots one and three at 100 yards are very close. The second shot at 100 yards was nowhere to be found and I am writing it off as a flier.

My concern is two inches high at fifty should not be four inches high at 100 yards. The target was approximately three feet off the ground so I was shooting slighlty uphill since I was laying down. Could this be a reason for the groups. I know its good enough for deer hunting but I was jsut looking for some input.
