When working up dope charts and confirming data, it takes time. And…I like to do it alone.
No…I’m not anti-social. I just like to concentrate on the ballistic curve. And actually memorize the shape of it. Why? This helps me recall the elevation settings, aka “come-ups” on the scope.
This session took 68 rounds. The temperature was 84 degrees with a wind speed gusting as high as 14 miles per hour.
Not ideal.
But got it done with quite a bit if fine tuning. I know this is kind of beating a dead horse, but in America there is a bias towards heavier / bigger bullets. I know dudes with think 168g 308 ammo is lightweight.
However…if you are running a slow-twist euro-centric rifle, this PPU 155g match stuff is pretty legit. And it’s fast too. Just a different way around to the barn door I suppose.
Sincerely,
Marky
