The Accurate 405-460 WFP GC boolits out of the 1895 CB chronographs in 1,700fps neighborhood. Now, sighting in a Ruger #3 with this load using a scope this is what I am achieving: The sight in is 1.5" above POA on the 100 yard target. The rounds drop on the target board 5"-6" low at 150 yards and 16"-17" low at 200 yards, as expected from the trajectory tables. But, I've not found any tables for this at 25 yard increments. I suspect at 175 yards they will may be in the 12" drop range, but that is only a guess on my part. What have you found to be the actual drop at 175 yards for this type of load?
Why do I ask? Years ago I had practiced shooting muzzleloading conical slugs at 200 yard accurately, but in a hunting scenario what I thought was 200 yard across the harvested corn field turned out to be 175 steps and it took the buck down with a spine shot. It all worked out but knowing that 25 yard difference is something I want to figure out.
Thanks in advance,
