8-9-1K

[swed6.5]

Hey just curious, ive never shot a fclass match at 8-900 and 1k and not sure if i will get any range time before the match.
I know my 1K zero and i shoot a 7 shehane with 180 hybrids at 2810, just looking for what other guys or gals come ups and drops are. I figure a average of some with 284. Will be of great help.
Thanks!

I would not use someone else's dope. If you say you have a 1000 yard zero, then go to JBM, punch in 1000 for the zero and fill in the bullet, the MV and the elevation and temperature and you will get the offsets for 800 and 900. We don't shoot at 800 and 900 locally, so that's the method I use when I get to a venue where 800 and 900 are shot. It's usually good enough for under .5 MOA adjustments during sighters.

You should easily be on paper, and ready to fine tune the rest of your sighters, by coming down 3.5-4.0 MOA from 1K to 900, and then to 800; at that velosity.

Thanks for the intel
If that's close enough for you, probably the best person I would take advice from.

Ran your load, On NF and here are results
2810 fps with 180gr Bergers at a BC of .680
If rifle has a zero at 100 yards !
1000 y you would come up 27 moa
900 y 23 moa
800 y 19 moa

you should be very very close to correct elevation

I have shot many Palma matches in F-Class and the format has always been unlimited sighters at the starting 800 yard distance, so no problem there, then only 2 sighters each at 900 and 1000. The format is fun to shoot, so I hope you have a great time. The info posted will get the job done. Do not worry too much. There will be many "helpful" shooters to assist.
