What is this pint you speak of? I am on SA Red @ twenty quid for 9 litres and it seems to be working quite nicely..

Silly badger...you should have gone during the night! :P

Pray tell, Christel's 22c - forgetting the exploding bullet issue and range regs, how fast can that thing get an 80gr? A mite quicker than 3250 I fancy - my 223 is 3050 with 80 amax.

31 minutes of elevation at 1200 yards on Saturday so 3300 fps on the nail allowing for temperature.

That does motor! Is that from a 100 yard zero? Ballistic says it should be more like 37 minutes, and it's normally quite well behaved!

Ovenpaa has used quite a few ballistic calculation programs and the 22C has never matched any of the numbers.

...including modified algorithms in Pejsa models. It just seems to get slipper as it moves on from 950 yards and we have never fully understood the reason. I have for a long while suspected that some of the heavier smaller cross section bullets perform differently at distance and I know a couple of other long distance shooters have experienced similar. We cannot blame the 'scope as it has been tested on an Accuracy International shooting 7,62x51 and was well within .25MOA of my drops all the way out, any variation on that day was probably environmental.
