Default RE: Ive Got Bad Problems With My .300 WBY

Bud, I hate to tell ya. But if your hitting 6" low at 500 yards with that load, your problems are far from over. Kicking those numbers thru a ballistic Calculator, and having extensive experience with a 300RUM and Weatherby Mag and long range shooting, with a 180gr hornady with BC around .475, 6" low at 500 yards is 7.2" high at 100 and 11.2" high at 200, and 11.3" at 300, with -7" low at 500. Now this is figureing 1.5" scope ht. Quite an arch you got going. So if your being straight with us, I highly suggest you go back and see what you are doing at 100 and 200. Your going right over an elks back.

It ain't your Nosler bullets, its something else. Go out and buy you a copy of Quickload, or Sierra's software. You sound like you need it. I hate to see ya go out there and screw up on a short shot.
