Well one way to look at it is that it does reach 100 meters easily with 60-70 grains of Swiss FFFG.
The load was powder, lube pill, .457 Hornady ball.
Wierdly enough the sights are not spot on...
It shoots high at 25 meters by about 6 inches, and at 100 meters it is high by about 1.5 feet.
I even shot it using a bench rest with simmillar effects. In all I fired 24 shots,
of which I witnessed two shots hitting the ricochette berm at 50 meters. Which is about 6 feet above the Line of Aim. I attributed that to my lousy shooting...
Common sense would state that the ball should actually drop significantly at that range, since the velocities are not that high to begin with. I am completely confused now...
