Just wondering if your number at 500 yards is the same as mine? Using 143 grain ELD-X I’m at 3.2 mils .

I'm 10.2 MOA which I think equates to right at 3.0 Mils.

If you are running about 2600 fps with a 143 ELDX, 3.2 mils to 500 is perfect.

Mine has sped up. I need to shoot it at 500 but with chads ammo I’m likely at 2.6-2.8. 200 is .4 and 300 is .8.

What bullet is that?

I'm pushing my 140 ELDM at 2775 and I'm at 1.2 mils at 300. I'm at 2.8 mils at 500 though. 800 yards is 5.8 for me under normal summer conditions.

143 ELDX. Chad's Speedmoor Ammo. Box says 2855. When my Tikka was slow, it was ~2770 (both chrono and dope). Now that it's got ~200 rds through it, I bet it is nearly what the box says. I shot several deer in 21 & 22 at 200-280, and some of the hits were high despite the rifle being zeroed at 100. I shot three at 235, 240, and 275 this past season. I dialed .7 at 275 and hit exactly where I aimed.

I'm at 2.5 mil at 500, but I have a 26" barrel and am at 2850fps. Mine has also sped up. I used to be at 2800, and JG's calculations are spot on.
