Bullet trajectory - 12/30/2017 2:01 AM
454 SRH, 7-1/2" barrel, bushnell scope.
In sighting in this handgun, I wanted the maximum distance I could get out to about 150yards on a deer-size animal. To be able to hit the vitals without worrying about too much in the way of trajectory.
Using a Barnes 250grn XPB bullet I got the following trajectory with the factory cartridge.
50yds-+1"
100yds-0
150yds--6"
This differed from the Barnes table. I live at 5500ft so that maybe allows for some error.
Do any of you gentleman who shoot a 454 have a similar trajectory? I'm still trying to learn about this 454, but it does seem to like these Barnes bullets.
