Define "accurate"
At 100 yards with single-stage handloads it does about an inch. With progresive loads, maybe 50% bigger. You can see the target at the first part of the post (note and warning: I had to switch from Federal to Winchester primers - the Federals are so soft I was getting slamfires, and doubling or tripling this gun is not a good idea)Here's the ballistics with 325gr Speer HP 4495's:
Yards V(fps) Path to LOS(in)
0 1613 -2
100 1268 0
200 1052 -20
300 933 -71
400 850 -160
500 782 -294
600 723 -481
700 670 -728
800 622 -1049
The 300 yard drop is about 6 feet, which the CQ/T reticle works just fine with. Past that, the ballistics resemble an out-of-round stone and the 5mph wind drift starts to get outrageous - like 4 feet at 500 yards.
I've shot it as far as 200, where it performed just fine. The bullet goes completely subsonic afer that and will be tossed around a bit as a result. Should be usefull up to about 300 yards all up.
