[QUOTE="Mr. Stevenson, post: 319936, member: 7414"] SDMF had an excellent post a bit back concerning powder burn and turrets. Friend of mine is taking a .308 out to WY on a WT hunt and asked me how to sight it in without turrets. I gave him the standard 3in high at 100 which I believe to be true for all common deer calibers. Tooling around on the net and found this chart. I read a lot of Chuck Hawks but never read this. A bit ashamed to admit I didn't realize just how scant the benefit of a "candle stick" round compared to the established and classic. For example: 150grn 7Rem at 3110 has a whopping 18yd advantage over an '06 150grn at 2900. The list goes on and 3 high at 100 is correct in most cases. I'll not quibble over .3,.5 etc. Buddy's '08 will have a 275yd MPBR--3in low: Gravity sucks and will not be cheated. FPE becomes superfluous (PBZ). Sorry; no 6.5 Creedmore. That is all. Time for a can of ravioli and an egg sandwich: [URL]https://www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_trajectory_table.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
