I just used the Hornady ballistic calculator and came up with these figures using a MV of 1570 and a BC of .260 and 100 yard zero:
distance fps* eng* traj*
100 1345 990 0
150 1250 855 -6
200 1170 750 -18
250 1100 665 -36
300 1050 600 -61
350 1000 550 -94
*rounded off for simplicity
Just too bad Ron didn't get the fps from the 50 gr load (or I didn't see it posted). I know 80 gr isn't a hot load but at least it shows, at least to me with the 80 gr charge I wouldn't feel comfortable shooting past 225 yards at game.
Just for comparison using a 300 gr .429" Hornady XTP you will get almost identical drop (only 3" difference at 350 yards) but hitting with 18% more energy (550 vs 650 ftlb)
