Pre-mil 308 Savage 99 shoots a nice group @ 125 yards (top group).
At 200 yards it turns to crap (bottom group).
Loads are 150 grn. ballistic tips running at 2810 fps. Ballistics shows a 2" drop @200 but I'm getting quite a bit more. Any ideas? [quote=boilerpig1]
Was this result repeatable? It may be fruitful to establish that the first observation is not an odd example of one.
I would suggest repeat shooting the two groups at the two distances again, twice. Once with the original scope and mounts and again with iron sights. If the 5" drop at 200 yds is repeatable with the scope and not repeatable with the iron sights, the problem is probably the height of the scope over the bore.
If I could see a target at 200 yards and hit it with iron sights I wouldn't need to have all these high dollar scopes. To many birthdays I guess.

boilerpig,
Your post is interesting and all, but what I'd really like is to see the obverse side of your avatar. You wouldn't, by chance, have that to share with us, would you?
