At sealevel it takes 10 mils for a 1100 yard shot. I also feel like it really makes wind it's b1tch. During one of my matches we had a 30mph full value wind off the tower I was holding 3.5 mils at 700 yards.
That's 2mils less than my .308!  |
6.5 is about the perfect round for reaching out (though many say its the 7mm) and making the hole bigger. As for factory rounds, I forgot which competition it was recently, but everyone had to use Hornady's 6.5 creedmoor's. For some reason, Hornady's seem to shoot tighter over any other factory round in almost every rifle I've tried them in, at least the Light Mag rounds (when they were in production). Even my Ruger M77 .30-06 made quarter sized groups at 100yrds.
Very Fine rig, mind if I ask the price tag on it and where you got it? When I get back to civilization I plan a doing some comp shooting, and the creedmoor is what I've been looking at.
