Let's compare my drops on 7mm caliber &180 bergers

Hi Guys, need to compare my drops on my 7mm Dakota caliber custom rifle to any of the 7mm's doing the same approximate speeds as mine?
Heres my stats, I am shooting the 180gr Berger Hybrid, I have metplat trimmed them and pointed them with the Hoover pointing die.
My speed is 2970fps avg, 200 yrd zero, shot at 900 meters or 984 yards, my real drop is 21.25MOA and windage is 5.5MOA, elvation is 400ft at that target range, temp was 38 degrees,baro pressure 29.50 approx,humidity 80%.
How does this compare to your guys drops with the 180gr Berger's whether they are vld's or hybrid's?
Thanks
Elmer
 
I shoot the 180VLD at about 2900 fps and my usual comeup from a 300 yard zero is 20 to 21 MOA. Depends mostly on the air temperature. I usually need a lttile more if I shoot first relay and then bring it down in the afternoon. I shoot mostly between sea level and 1000 feet and the Density Altitudes usually run between zero and 3500 feet during matches.
 
I have the same general drops as TonyR with the 180's at around 2900 FPS. 20-21 MOA from a 300 yd zero at 700ft above sea level. At 6500 Ft this summer I was coming up around 18 due to the higher altitude.
 
Thx Guys, so I geuss I should'nt be worried about a big change in my drops at 1600ft and 0 degrees, should not be more than 1 MOA difference.

Better check for yourself so you can be sure.

Play around with it and input your different elevations and temperatures and you will figure it out pretty quick!
