9.3x62 at 300 meters.
I have recently mounted a new scope, Leupold VX3-HD 3.5-10x40 on my 9.3x62 and went to the range today to check the accuracy of my current load (250gr Peregrine @ 2500fps) and to establish how much to dial for shots out to 300m. The rifle is sighted at 200, so from 0 to 220 I just hold in the middle of the vital area but from 220 to 300, there is a considerable drop.
The two shots below were fired at 300m and are 2.5" apart.

Unpossible! The 9.3x62 is a 70M cartridge, what sorcery is this?

Re: 9.3x62 at 300 meters.
Shooting at red stars in these times ?
Could there be any reasons why that 9.3 would not be just as capable in regard to accuracy at 500 m as any other caliber (shooter excluded)?
I was really impressed shooting a meter x meter gong with 500 x 500 inner bullseye at 1 km using a 30 06, but when the Kiwi goat shaggers started klapping that plate at 1000 m using a 90 gr bullet from a 243 I was pretty astounded. (but not as much as by the golf shirts at 8 Cel)

Nice shooting TStone. Which peregrine bullet - VLR4 and what was the drop at 300m?
