The 600lbs gorilla

[Azprc]

Here is my dope for last weekend where I shot my 1084 yard target. With the 108s I was 10.4 mils elevation and 2.1 mils for a 10mph wind (which I did not have but it was close). With the same enviromentals, the 123 scenar is 11.8 mils and 2.0 mils wind. So the 108's win out, unless you you want the .1 mil less wind, which is only 3.9 inches at 1084 yards but it is 1.4 mils flatter. My gun is a 20.8" grendel chamber. I can not push the 123 fast enough to gain ANY advantage within the grendel platform. I could only get the 123's to 2575 and run the 108's at 2780 ish. And the extra velocity is a huge advantage and closer distances where the added bc and weight do not help the 123's. Lets use 750 yards, the 123's take 6.5 and 1.3 mils. The 108's take 5.6 and 1.3. The only reason to run the 123's is energy. AT 1084 the 108's have 415.6ft-lbs and the 123's have 484.7 ft-lbs.

Here is a video of the 1084 target.

Just for the hell of it, here is the 1450 target.
