This, I know. Looks like you're getting plenty of calcium. *grins* I'm guessing you're not shooting today.

Sticking with the "can't leave well enough alone" theme.....
I was running low on the 183 Sierras, and was all set to restock the stash, but the nagging thoughts of the 195 Bergers were still festering. I could ignore it no more, and made the executive to order a box.7MM Lineup:
120 BT - 140 BT - 150 BT - 160 Sierra - 162 Amax - 168 VLD - 180 Hybrid - 183 SMK - 195 BergerLoaded up a few test rounds in one grain increments, & hit the "range". Set up the target at 200 yards with a switchy tail wind, and found the sweet spot in 12 shots.

Finally had a narrow window of opportunity, weather wise, to give 'em a test out further. So I got out there by 6:30, got the steel set up, ran a few jugs out another couple hundred yards, and moved back to the 720 yard mark:Almost zero wind, so I dialed in the come-ups, and let one go at the far right steel: Damn....shot two more:I had the 6x47 Lapua along as well:Shazaam....

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist! Those 195's are fairly wicked. It looks like your dope is pretty spot on- did you base your come-ups off of advertised BC values? They're hammering for me, with published numbers...

They're hammering for me, with published numbers... I gotta blame you for pushing me over the edge...... I just ran JBM's simplified version with the .754 BC at 3010fps to 2000 yards. It's within a click to 1K so far. I got tangled up last night and never finished my post to show the 1000 yard results. Guess I'll have to point a few to see what improvement it gives way out there.....

Keep us posted. I'll be interested to see what pointing does for you on those bullets

So after the 720 yard performance, I moved back to the 1000 yard mark, hoping for a repeat. Of course, the wind decided to make an appearance by then.....I dialed in the up, with a couple MOA of wind, & sent one sighter in the dirt. That went a hair high right over the spot, so I clicked down two and moved to the steel and banged off three. The first two damn near touched, with the last one a bit right.... Grabbed the 6x47 Lapua, and had the exact same result....

Next up, I dialed one MOA out of the Lapua's scope, and proceeded to ventilate the three water jugs.Just got the deed finished, when the farmer came rolling in to cut first crop hay. I was planning on moving back to 1400 or so, as I had set some jugs out in the far field that had been baled already, not knowing he still had hay to tend to up and around the corner. Snapped a few pics, loaded up, and headed for home.
