I do all my shooting at 200yds, that was why my data is based on a 200yd zero.
According to the site I linked above the 107 HP SMK BC G1 .430 out of my 24" 6.5 G, running at 2700fps will require 208" of hold over at 800yds at 1312fps...at sea level. In my example above I only substituted the 2200fps and left everything else the same. If I had used A5B's velocity of 2278fps...it wouldn't change it a ton from 331" of hold over.
It's a poke in an ones book! IMO doing this with hold over vs dialing up the shot...hold over is hugely more difficult.
