In contrast, and today, Rick is running a 195 Berger with H1000 at over 2900 fps,and shooting out to 1500 yards with the same cartridge, modern scope,and modern bullets. Distances Page would have thought impossible no doubt. Interesting that it still keeps pace with about anything considered current and up to date among long range cartridges,even if it is a wildcat.
The only reason I stopped at 1571 yards that day was because it was the longest target we had set up for which I had scope travel
The Mark 4 only had a 30mm tube. The new Mark 4 should get me to well over a mile. The ballistics of the 195 grain Berger at 2970 are better than the .338 Lapua shooting a 300 grainer.
Hey Beretzs,
I hear you're using RL-33 with the 175's and doing well. I might have to try some with the 195, but it's shooting so well with H-1000 I'm afraid to try! 100 more FPS may or may not be worth it...
