Good for you on a good day at the range.

According to Nosler, the BC for the 150 AB is .435 (I do not have the BC at a given velocity) if your scope is mounted 1.5 inches above the center of the bore (center to center) which is pretty much normal, and your clicks are truly .25 MOA, and the muzzle velocity is 3380, here are your 50 yard increment settings:
200=0
250=+3
300=+6
350=+10
400=+14
450=+18
500=+22
550=+27
600=+32

The clicks are total so a target at 450 yards would take an 18 click adjustment for a dead on hold. By putting the chart on the scope you can adjust for ranges inbetween. Print this out and the next time you are at the range, give it a whirl. Mine works like a champ fot the 168HPBTM and the 180 GK.

Oh, and if you would, please go to the load data base and enter your data.

Thank You Ed. I have recorded the numbers and they will be part of my bag of tricks this fall.
I will verify them all of course. If there is any discrepancy I will let you know.
Thanks Again,
Craig
