We shot different guns at 200 for fun. I shot my .500 JRH and very hard with the Ultra Dot. Even a paper plate was not to be held on. Wrong seats, too low or high did not help.
I measure drop at 38 to 39" at 200. 440 gr WFN. Plate blew down, set it back and last 2 shots were 2" apart.
Joe's .444 was sad, bullets all over. 2' drop to start. He did not use the rounds we shot before but still Rem factory, different bullet. He is saving the better ones for hunting. They were super. Then he shot and smoke was pouring out of the action, I grabbed the case and found it split 1/4" from the rim.
We will repeat with the RD 265 boolit when he gets his equipment.

Sounds like fun! I've always wanted a JRH...

I love it and of course I would never shoot far for hunting but it is fun.
My good seat at 200 rotted away and we could not get lined up. Just need to put out money for treated wood. A plastic chair sucked. Nothing lasts in my woods. Friend is a lefty, built a bench. Lasted one year even though he painted it. It is a strange feeling to sit and have the seat flows sideways so you are on the ground!
