Thanks for the kind words, Mackay.

For what it’s worth:
• A 180-grain Nolser Partition at 2,750 fps zeroed at 200 yards is -8.4 at 300, and -15.3 at 350. Max ord is 1.9” from 100-130 yards.
• A 180-grain Nolser Partition at 2,600 fps zeroed at 200 yards is -9.2 at 300, and -16.6 at 350. Max ord is 2.3” from 110-120 yards.
• A 180-grain Nolser Partition at 2,750 fps and zeroed at 230 (to keep max ord under 3”) is -5.8” at 300 and -12.1” at 350. Max ord is 2.9” from 120-130 yards.
• A 180-grain Nolser Partition at 2,600 fps and zeroed at 215 (to keep max ord under 3”) is -7.9” at 300 and -15.1” at 350. Max ord is 2.8” from 110-130 yards.

In other words, how you zero the rifle probably matters more than 150 fps one way or the other.
