Perhaps this is just something that is the norm and I need to compensate for it.
I made some 180, 200, and 240g XTP reloads this weekend, fairly stout H110 loads.
The 180g loads were cooking along at just under 1800 fps
The 200g loads in the high 1500 fps range
The 240g loads in the high 1300 fps range
All through my 7.5" Super Redhawk.
I was just messing around with them, but I found the 240 to be POA, the 200 just to be slightly lower, perhaps .5" low POA....but those 180's...they were a good 4" low at just 15 yds!
I know I'm working on stock sights that are probably set for 240g loads...but I was shocked to see how low those 180g projectiles were shooting. As I start taking this out to 25 and eventually 50+ yds, I can't imagine how low these fellas will land up shooting.
