BRONCO, thank you sir for straiting me out on trajectory. when i find a load my rifle likes at 100 yds I go out and shoot it at 2,3 and 400 yds. If i like what i see i write the info on my scope cap and hunt with it that year. I made some wrong assumptions bullet to bullet and again thanks.

The 140gr seems to be the best or flatest .277 bullet for longer distance 300-500 yards. What are you shooting just target/steel. You will need some momentum once you get there as well for shilo's. whiffle ball/ base ball what do you think?

Dead On: Just a note - remember that you are not going to get some of the velocities posted here using the powders that you have on hand. Max for the 130 with powders like 4831 and R22 is about 2900 fps. The 110s will run max about 3100fps. For the 110 grain bullet the difference in drop at 400 yards between 3100 fps and 3600 fps (100 yard zero) is 10 inches.
