4.6mils at 180m is 32 inches of drop. When I think about it it seems like a hell of a lot. The steel was about 1mil big in the scope so it didn't seem like a crazy feat at the time. I did spend hours on those drop tables so I guess it paid off.

Quick question what scope were you using or was it open sights???? ;) :o ;)

SWFA SS 6x42 with MRAD turrets. It's a great scope for the money, but it was a huge pain getting my hands on one since we're not in America and all. It's mounted on a Savage Mk2 FV-SR.

Glad I never go to a range and put up with the stuff that goes on there. Easier just to go to the local state forest and bang away there. Just call it sighting in.

The perks of living in Victoria.
Browning BL-22 lever action...open sights
T3 Varmint .204 Ruger...Meopta Meostar 4-16X44
T3 Lite .30-06 Sprg...Aimpoint Hunter 1X red dot

....that will do me
