I was at the range yesterday shooting some 7mm RM from two different rifles.
From 100 yds. my 140 gr. Sierra #1910 MV of 3050 fps average were shooting 4 1/2" high. No problem, I was expecting them to shoot about this high being that they were zeroed at 300 yds.
However, I ran some 100 gr. HP's and 110 HP's @ 3450 fps and they were shooting 2 1/2" high. If anything I would have expected the much faster & lighter HP's to have a bit higher point of impact if anything. Both of my rifles produced the same identical POI. Groups were one ragged hole at this distance with both rifles, so I'm certain there is nothing going on with the rifles.
