Just for the hell of it last summer I shot my 300 whisper out to 850 yards. I had to crank the elevation all the way up on the 10x super sniper and still hold over about 4 or maybe 5 dots IIRC. It was a lot of fun as the flight time was a couple of seconds.
I just went to the JBM ballistics sight and punched in a generic 30 cal, 220 gr, 0.5bc bullet travelling at 1000fps muzzle velocity. The "maximum distance" calculator gave a terminal range 4083yds, initial angle 37.5 degrees, terminal angle 56.4 degrees, terminal velocity of 466fps, and a flight time of 28.2 seconds!!! Pretty amazing for a little whisper to carry that far and for such a long hang time. Anyone want to help me figure out a way to test it???
