Dead right there just the same.So years ago I began testing at farther than 100 yards . and I no longer rely on bullet trajectory calculators..I would rather shoot and see where my bullets land and go from there.If you seen the factory barrel piece I cut off that 24" to make it 20.5 you would see why that boat tail 178 was not happy in the last 1/2" of barrel..factory flaw.Stuff happens.Get out and shoot and have fun doing it.</blockquote>
