Thanks for the data NugginFutz and LRRPF52. I probably should have been a little more specific. In the very short period of time between now and the competition, I do not have access to a chronograph or a range outside of 100 yards. It is because of this that I need the data, if available. I will be shooting factory Hornady ammunition, not hand loads, because that is all I have.
There are a multitude of things that I cannot fix or prevent: Air density (450 ASL), bullet limitations (I cannot get any different ammunition), or the sadistic nature of the competition operators (800 yard movers, 12" plate at 1200 yards painted with a color similar to the surrounding area) among others. Pile on top of that the limitations of the platform and the trigger puller, and I will be lucky to hit much beyond 700 yards - buy hey, it will be fun to try.
