welcome and have fun bazz

if you want to shoot that distance i would recommend a range finder and u need to know your bullet speed rarely will the bullets be doing boxed speeds or u can measure those distances and shoot a target aiming a t a bullseye and measure the drop but its very hard to judge hold over it better to dial...

I had good luck with the 39 SBK's for a few years and then had a few splash about a year and a half ago. Maybe coincidence but, I did hear a rumor that Sierra had changed their jackets. Anyway, I switched over to the 35gr Berger HP and have had zero issues with them on coyotes and/or badgers. YMMV ...
