HELP - 6BR dope out to 600yrds

Hey guys, just got things together and a load worked up for the new rifle. Its been one heck of a ruff week and I haven't had a chance to shoot out to 600yrds to see what my dope will be. Maybe someone has a ballistic program or better yet someone who shoots a similar load?...I just don't have a clue where it will go being this is my first 6BR.

I have a match this Sunday and if anyone can help out with figuring out the a ruff estimate I would be grateful. I'm using..

Lapua Brass
Federal 205
107 grn SMK
with 29.8grns of Varget
ten thou off lands

Shooting them out of...

Savage factory F-Class W/ 30" barrel
 
I UPDATED THE NUMBERS TO REFLECT, 1000ft Elevation with a 9 degree tempture. I ran this on my Nightforce Ballistics program. I ran it with an estimated velocity of 2850fps, I hope this helps. If you need more info give me a call, I will send you a privite message with my #.Here the elevation adjustments with a 100 Zero.

200 Yards-1.50 MOA

300 Yards-4.00 MOA

400 Yards-6.75 MOA

500 Yards-9.75

600 Yards-13.00 MOA
 
At 3000' elevation range, shooting 105s with 30.3gr Varget, chron'd at 2900 fps. I'm at 47 clicks up from 100-yard zero. That's 11.75 MOA. Depending on your velocities,if your barrel is slower than average), something like 50 clicks up from your 100-yard zero should get you on paper at 600 yards.
 
Sorry guys I should have posted some more info... I'm at about 1000 feet and it will be single digits all day here in Minnesota...

My crono has been acting up in this cold weather so I don't have no idea where its at for speed....
 
Well I must say thank you to 6BR, the numbers were close! They ended up canceling the match but a group of us shot anyhow. Here were the predicted and observed MOA's... Didn't get out to 600 though.

.................Predicted......Observed
200 Yards..... 1.50 ....... 1.25 MOA

300 Yards..... 4.00 ....... 3.75 MOA

400 Yards..... 6.75 ....... 6.25 MOA

500 Yards..... 9.75 ....... 9.75 MOA

600 Yards..... 13.00 ....... ? MOA


Thanks again....
