Thanks Gunner. PM sent.
Running the numbers further out, at 1,800 yds (over a mile), that bullet would still be going almost 1,200 fps.
Have you tried the 265gr LRAB? I wonder what velocities you could get with that. It has an even higher B.C. of 0.732.
If you could push the 265gr LRAB at 3,200 fps (which is my rough guess), you have some even more insane numbers. At 1,800 yds, the bullet would be moving at almost 1,300 fps and be only 52 MOA low; 3.2 seconds after you pull the trigger.
I’m not suggesting anyone would consider shooting anything other than targets at a mile, but your rifle likely has the capability of doing that under ideal conditions with a bigger scope.
