Oops!
Load!
46.5 grains IMR 4895
Win large rifle primer
Sierra 130 gr. BTSP
Near factory load. About 2900+ fps at the muzzle.
My rifles are sighted 1.5" high at 100 yards.
Out to about 275 yards, put the X where you want the bullet. You'll be within 3"+/- of point of aim.
I've yet to lose a white tail that's received a properly applied Sierra 130!

70 grains of RL 22 behind a 165 grain Hornady Interlock bullet or a 165 Nosler Accubond in my 300WSM. 3050 FPS at the muzzle, Win Lg, Rifle Primer
1/2 inch high at 100, 1.7 low at 200
That is all that I worry about in the woods where I hunt.
I shoot them in the high shoulder and they run like he## for half of a step.
