I ran several loads thru Hornady's Ballistics Calculator.

As I suspected, B.C. can make up for velocity loss with heavier bullets.

I ran 130 and 140 NAB's, 130 and 140 NPT's, 150 ABLR at Load Data velocities and found the trajectories out to 600 yds. within just an inch or so except the 140 NPT (5").

My bud doesn't twist, will have a 200 yd. zero, hold 5", 10" and 15" for 300, 350 and 400 yds. respectively.

We'll see which bullets the gun likes and go from there.
