Oops - I was out a bit on the drop and zero's with my guess. The conersion to yards from meters is the problem- yup- that's my story. Obviously, it's a lot flatter shooting than I thought. No wonder my bro had no difficulty dropping previously wounded moose at 200yards with it - raking shots, as Elmer would say.

This is what Point Blank says. It's proven to be quite reliable with my .375 and .17 cal. rifles.
Here's that bullet at 2,200fps: No flies on it at all.
a good shot, with some practise and a range finder, could quite easily drop one of those very accurate RN's into the boiler of a moose or elk at from 250 to 300yards.
