139gr lrx.........3325fps

All these loads are .35 -.80 for 5 shot groups. The 175gr load with that speed and balistics etc should work on anything in NA. I cannot remember but I think I am no more than 1.5" high at 100m with any of those loads to be pretty much on at 300m..the trajectory is flat way out to 700m I think... but I am only practiced to 400m and that is pretty far in my books...I am still sneaky enuf to close under 200m even with the extra 50lbs I am carrying..ha ha
I shoot a 7mmstw, producing more velocity , and I have to be 2-1/2" high at 100 to be zeroed at 300 yards with a 140gr bullet . And I doubt that your loads are within SAMMI pressures to produce those velocities, especially the 160gr load. My max 7mmstw 160gr load with a 26" barrel is producing 3300fps, at 3250fps you are producing almost 200fps more than most people are seeing with the 7mmremmag.
