I was wondering if any of you good folks shot the 178 grain Amax? I am currently using 44 grains of IMR 4064. It groups very well. I have noticed a half mil drop between 100 and 200 yards. What are your experiences?

Best rifle I ever had!
Beastep,can you ask your buddy what powder and weight he uses as well as what velocity he gets?
I am getting .5 mil drop between 100-200 yards. That's exactly what my 168 SMK was doing.

Drop from 100 to 200 should be about .5 mil with either 168 or 175 grain slugs.
Depending on velocity I usually have .4 to .5 mil drop at that distance.

Today I shot 300,400,500 yards.
So here is my dope card as of now...
100 0
200 .5
300. 1
400. 1.9
500 3.2

My 7.62x39 AR shooting wal mart Tula
100. 0
200. 1
300. 2
400. 3.5
Can't remember what 500 was.
Shot much better than expected.
Winchester in the white box at walmart shot very poorly. At least I now have 100 brass reload able cases to start with.
Thinking 135 SMK.
