1163 yard sika spiker taken with my brand new 338/408 .300SMK @ 3250fps

is there any "rule of thumb" so to speak or actual formula around than can calculate, lift and drop of projectiles at extreme ranges?

has anyone been experimenting with the pointing dies on VLD's or Matchkings at all? very curious to know what kind of B.C increases and consitancies are able to be reachedgun)

so keen on a Bartlein barrel but does anyone know if they make a 375? the cut rifling and angled lands is fantastic! also what is their contact email?

cheers for that,most of the hand-lathed high B.C bullets that i have found reccomend a 1:11 twist, would I be better to have more twist rather than not enough for those heavy bullets?

hey can anyone reccomend a barrel manufacturer that makes a suitable barrel for a .375 Cheytac firing 350gn+ bullets, looking for 1:11 to 1:11.5 twist rate
