Quick Load help

Would someone please run these variables on QL for me.
Using H-414 and N-560 in a 28" 1/12 twist 30 cal tube 300WSM
Looking for load with as close to 100% burn effic using a 155 Lapua Scenar and a 175 Berger VLD. Looking for 3200 fps range. I know this takes a bit of time, but I sure would appreaciate the help.
I'm thinking maybe I am not getting accurate readings from my used PAL Chrony. I have been averaging 3205 fps with the 155's over 63.3 grns of H-414. Average of 3088 fps with the 175's over 60 grns of H-414 using the Chrony. My results at the range using JMB ballistic calcs are off by almoast a full 2-MOA low impact at 600 yds using the 155's and 175's. JMB calls for 9.7 moa elevation at 600 from a 100 yd zero on the 155's / actual adjustment is 11.5 moa. I have the identicle set of rings on both scopes. Warren Maxima Extra High. Zero cant on scope and I am testing off of a Caldwell BR rest with a built in level. Average altitude in Fl where I shoot is 13' above sea level
I had just switched scopes before the trip and zeroed at 100 once there. I put on the NF 12-42 x 56 I bought for the 7 wsm Chris Matthews is building me. I believe that both scopes are moa not inches, at least thats what the turret says. I even played around with the Temp and humidity by 10 degrees and 10 percent humid and still arrived with the same adjustments from JBM. All rounds were loaded .020 into the lands using a comparitor. The mirrage was fairly heavy from left to right,no tail winds. All shots were fairly horizontal with very little verticle, 94 degrees and 82 % humidity after a rain the night before. I have cleaned the lenses on the Chrony and have a good set up 12' from the muzzle. If I can get someone to run the numbers for me I can find the weak link, Chrono or other.

I would appreciate any thoughts and Data

Thanks, Scout1
 
Is everyone scared to jump in on this one. Somebody out there has the answer, or can help me figure it out. I'm stumped... PLEASE HELP !!!!
 
I don't know if this is exactly what you are asking for but here is my best try. I'll post the 175 Berger next. You may have to decipher a little.

Good Luck,
DG

You should check out Bryan Litz's articles in Precision Shooting where he tests BC's of 30 caliber match bullets. If you use the tested BC instead of the advertised one, it may give more accurate calculations.
 
Atomic cowboy and jss223, I appreciate the efforts it appears you have run the same ballistic calc that I did using jmb and just left out the factors I listed in my plea for help. When I use jbm or jmb, what ever ) I make the selection from the library, but leave the BC at .5 for both bullets, add the current conditions and press go. These cals have worked fine for my .308 in the past. What I dint have access to is the QL program that covers so many other variables.
If I have left any questions unanswered in my initial post that might help with a solution, let me know.

Thanks, Scout1
 
300wsm. col for the scenar is 2.950
col for the 175 VLD is 3.010

I'm running these in a long action.

Thanks for the help, Scout1

300wsm, Thank you very much for the info. This confirms my thoughts on the Chrono. I will have to find someone at the range who has one I can borrow for a day since mine may be defective. Was there no info for N-560 in the QL library. That is what I have 4 lbs of, not the 160, or are the comparisons between the two so close it dosent matter. I was told the 560 is a high energy powder and that I should expect 50 to 75 fps faster results.

Are you also on PLRH. I see your same screen name there as well.

Thanks, Scout1
