If it makes you feel any better, Bronc, 22LR drops that same 18.5moa at only 200 yards! It also passes that 135” gross drop at only 300 yards. So that 6.5 creed’s not doing too bad out there at 700yrds.

But I also want to reiterate - your physical altitude really doesn’t matter much. My private range is at 1300ft, the private club I member with is also at 1300ft, as are two of the other ranges which host PRS matches here in KS - all within 100ft physical elevation... However, at these ranges, the atmospheric conditions over the last 4-5yrs has yielded Density Altitude equivalencies from -500 up to 4800 ft. During the same single day match, between first shot fired at 8am and last fired at 3pm, I occasionally see 1000 to even 2500 ft density altitude change. So shooting and hunting 1300-2000 feet, you might have HUGE atmospheric changes which, like my own life around 1300ft, might swing your DA by thousands of feet.
