Default Super safari Ballistically speaking

I ran my load through several programs. Most are within an inch or so of each other. I have since checked actual shooting with the ballistic calculations and once again I am within an inch or so .for example here are charts from different programs








I have shot at 25,50,75,100,125,and 150 so far .I plan on comparing 175 and 200 But since I have the Monarch scope on there with mildot I think I will compare actual shots with the scope reticle calculations. If they match up fairly close I can forget holdover or dialing up and use the mildots
here is what that should be





so between now and October I am going to test that out and see how close we are.

that is some impressive numbers. I was not aware of the bullet drop. Would my .451 Whitetail Hunter with the same load and 22 inch barrel push somewhat similar numbers you think?

I would think it would be close . You might lose a little velocity with the 22 in barrel but it shouldnt be to substantial .
