When I mentioned that .300 Blackout load,

I was referred(thanks Mel) to the Hornady Ballistic Calculator and I've been playing with it.  By what the book says about velocity with that charge, and the ballistic coefficient of the bullet*, looks like at 150 yards it would be 3.2" high, at 250 6.2" low.

Wonderful what tools we have to play with nowadays.


* can't remember if he was using the 110 grain Varmint or V-max bullet

What's nice about the calculator, it can save you some money on ammo or see if a round is right for your needs. I just got a Radical 300 blackout for deer season, fortunately where I hunt, 100 yards is top. Ran the calculation with 4 different loads, and then did some 3 shot groups to see what I got. Pretty close, and I'm not the best shot for target shooting, but was getting 1 MOA. The higher velocity loads shot higher as expected

By the way, check your Blog most every day, sometimes I learn something
