For those of you using these calibers this week I have some questions. What rounds are you using? Handloading a certain bullet? Hornady Leverevolution? or? Are there any bullets that you have had less than desireable results on deer with?
After running some information through a ballistics calculator:
444 Marlin using the 265 gr LEVERevolution a 3" high zero at 100 yards is +/- 4 inches from 0-225 yards and only 8 inches low at 250 yards which would be a pretty far shot for where I hunt in Ohio. Anyone using a similar zero? Is that similar to what you see ballistics curve wise with your weapon?
44 mag shooting a remington 240 gr JHP (generic 44 mag load) with a 100 yard zero is within an inch to 100 and then starts dropping being 5.5 low at 150 yards and 10.3 low at 175.
Is this what you all are seeing from your guns?
