Re-zeroed my tikka t3 6.5. x 55 yesterday with some Federal Ammo.
At 100 yds it was spot on with 3 shots covered by a 10p coin. Moved the target out to 165 yds and the groups was just under 1 1/2 inches but I was surprised the bullet dropped so much. It was 3 inched below point of aim. so at 200 yds I'd be guessing at a bullet drop of 5 inches.
Is this normal for the 6.5 x 55, or is this due to the lightly loaded Federals that I have head about?
cheers
