215 Sierra SBTGK,,gonna try IMR4831,RL19,RL22 and H4831,,lookin at 3350-3400 fps..

I know its crazy but I can think of a couple places where I could set up on a spotting scope and glass at 600-800 yards and from a 300 zero it would only be 2.8 mils don at 700 and have 2,000 ft lbs energy left at 700 yards,,

wind chart is easy to remember also,,1 click for every 1 mph wind out to 700,,

I already know what this rig will do on steel at 1,000-1,500 yards with the 300 Scenar,,but I think it will make an outstanding midrange hammer from 500-800 on live game,,

hopefully the 9 twist wont explode the 215 at those speeds,,I guess I could try the 165 Barnes X at 3700 fps,,


I have come to the conclusion that this thing is about as bad as smokin crack,,

After reading about all the fun you're having with the .338 and all the results I'm seeing about the 6mm Creedmoor,it's probably a good thing I don't have somewhere to shoot long range because I'd have to have both calibers and would stay broke.
