I'm no .22 expert, but I gotta agree with Ryan. That's some fuzzy math.
 
Re: Got Dope?

It looks like you have it correct. Sorry to make you second guess your dope. I'm used to seeing things in moa, so it looked funny.

What were you shooting at 500 yards? 103 MOA means the bullet is dropping 43 feet.

Well, as a practical matter, you're really switching ammo every time you buy a different lot.
 
Re: Got Dope?

DFOOSKING, if it's a different lot number, it's going to be different. I don't manufacture rimfire ammunition, but I'd imagine that running a lot of ammunition involves using up all of a particular lot of bullets, powder and priming compound with the end result being a particular lot of loaded ammunition.

To tell you the truth, I don't think I've ever seen two lots of ammunition that were only one number off.

I do know that when I was testing lots of Eley Black Box to restock, I got differences of up to 2 MOA elevation at 100 yards among the lots that I tried. At 200 yards the difference got bigger.
