    What ammo?

    700yds is 156 inches of drop with the Hornady Black I've been shooting, and that is out of a 24in barrel.

    I used my reloads at the 550 and 715. I usually shoot the Wolf Classic through it, but I have had Chrono readings on the Wolf that were sub par to say the least. At least 2 out of every 10 in the mag shot over 1,000 fps slower. Which is fine for banging steel, but not okay for posting a group.

    My average speed on that load is 2620 FPS, I had to adjust 5.7 mil for elevation, which isn't bad for such a small cartridge. Faster than my .308 175gr SMK load and the wind didn't seem to bother them much more than my .308. I haven't shot the rifle a whole lot at distance, but with what little I have, I'm impressed with it.
