I have a .308 Remington 700 SPS Varmint, 26" 1:12 twist barrel, in a B&C medalist stock, with a vortex PST on top.
I was shooting some 175 gr Berger OTMs and decided to move out to 230 yards(the farthest on my property). The drop from my 100 yd zero was 11 inches. The load was 44 gr of BLC2 under a 175 gr OTM. I sadly do not have access to a chronograph but putting everything into the Vortex ballistic calculator says it would be 2032 fps. That seems really low. Is the drop normal? Is the estimated velocity close?(Berger gives about 2500 from a 24 inch barrel) I tried searching for some answers before posting but didn't find much. I hope I got all the details.
