Went and shot my 135 DRT, 2.30 CBTO, Peterson 1x, 43.0 RL16, GM210M loads. I did a 30 round zero on my Left Handed 6.5CM (about 100ish down the pipe) as opposed to my RH 65 CM that probably has 700+. So velocity might improve on the LH at some point ...
My initial Garmin velocity on the RH was 2795, where this 30 rounds in the LH was 2779
Conditions: Had a bit of gusty wind (R->L) 5-10 mph, so SOME of the horizontal variation COULD be from that (either that or they were "fliers" ... that was for you @Formidilosus). While this is not a "group to write home about", I am actually happy with it. With a vertical dispersion of a bit over 1.6 MOA, and a potential for the horizontal to MAYBE be a smidge tighter, this is a group I can hunt with.
At 2779, this drops to < 1800 fps at 600y (at my 2600 DA), 750y @ ~10K DA. Assume a 2.0 MOA
- 600y : 12" ... big deer, any Elk, most bear(?)
- 750y : 14.5" ... deer questionable (prob not), any Elk, some bear(?)
