Guys I could use some input here. I'm going around in circles on this, ive got a 12" 6.5 grendel upper that I built to be a walk around in the wood deer slayer. Light and quick with more umph then a 556 but more range then my 300aac if needed.
I reload so my rounds can and will be tweaked to perfection, but I'm torn on if I should use something like a 3-9x40 and do a point blank zero.
Or something like a 2.5-10 or LPVO and use an moa retical and then just use holds?
I have a go to optic for load development, but I'm just having a hard time on what direction to go in. Id like to stay 600 or under and I qualify for military pricing so leupold, vortex, burris always catches my eyed first.
Here's a quick copy and paste playing with strelok and what it crono'd and bullet info.
Yrs. Fps. Ft lbs. Drop inch MOA
10.0 2236.5 1366.1 1.02 9.78
60.0 2150.3 1262.8 -0.28 -0.47
110.0 2065.9 1165.7 0.28 0.23
160.0 1983.9 1074.9 2.87 1.71
210.0 1903.9 989.9 7.68 3.49
260.0 1826.1 910.7 14.88 5.47
310.0 1750.0 836.4 24.69 7.61
360.0 1676.2 767.3 37.36 9.91
