From a friend - All bullet drop depends on the bullet weight, load and barrel. So, a 450 bushmaster with 20" barrel on it and done some work with it the past few days. After some trouble dialing in the scope multiple times I finally got it on at 100 yards. With a 100 yard zero (around 1.5" groups which isn't too good but I believe it is due to my scope which is going to get replaced shortly) we shot it out at 300 yards to see what it would do. We calculated the drop to be approximately 30" with the 100 yard zero. First few shots we were not on paper so we raised hold point up a few inches and we had our first mark. After 2 more shots we had a group to measure from. Back at the house we measured the 3 shot group at 300 yards to be 7.5 inches. (again I am confident this can perform better with a better optic) and 37.5" low. With a 2000 fps velocity and 250 gr bullet from Hornady, it puts the ballistics at

100 yrds- 0" drop, 2030 ft lbs energy, 1912 fps
200 yrds- 9.5" drop, 1067 ft lbs energy, 1386 fps
300 yrds- 37.5" drop, 760 ft obs energy, 1170 fps

Vx3i 4.5-14x50mm with cds turret tops out at about 450 yards. Turret gets tight. Shooting 300 win mag zeroed at 200 yards 180 grain boat tail loads. Am I maxing out my adjustment with the 1" tube?

Probably. You can use a 1913 rail with a forward incline to get more elevation. How far are you trying to shoot? 450 yards is further than most hunters will try to take game because of terminal ballistics and ability to precisely place the shot for a clean, humane kill. Target shooting is still getting close to out of range - bullet drop on a 300 win mag 180 grainer is pretty severe - at 500 yards it is falling 55 inches, and it gets progressively worse with heavier bullets and longer ranges.

At less than 300 yards this caliber will take down any large game animal in North America. You have chosen a very effective caliber, but all calibers have limitations.

How much bullet drop with a 130 gr bullet out of a 270 at 1500 yds

Are you sure of your distance - that is 4500 feet, or .85 miles. Here is the drop up to 500 feet:
270 Win Ballistics Chart Coefficient GunData org

Firing 130 grain bullets at between 3250fps and 3300fps, the .270 WSM is capable of delivering high shock for impressively fast killing out to ranges of around 300 yards along with clean but sometimes slightly delayed killing out to 400 yards. After approximately 500 yards, wound channels become proportionate to the expanded bullet.

Situation--Having a discussion with son-in-law while sighting in my Winchester Model 94 30-30. I think it's sighted at 100 yards but shooting at 50 yard target. It is consistently high by about 5 to 6...

He is right the bullet at most will be 1/2 high at 50yards. Zero at 100 if sighted correctly. The bullet is flat to about 100 yards and will drop significantly for the next 300 yards. At 400yards your drop is almost 7-8 inches and at longer than that the bullet loses most if its effective stopping power for hunting and the drop is really significant. Not worth the effort......

A bullet is find horizontally w/ an iniyial velocity of 245m/s. the gun is 1.5m above the ground. how long is the bullet in the air?

Well it does not matter how fast the bullet is traveling, horizontal and vertical velocities are independent of one another. Try finding how long the bullet will be in the air if it is simply dropped, think about the acceleration of gravity.

Need replacement o-ring for water tank cap

This is a posting from someone other than myself...however, it presented a good solution.

A solution to the problem with the fill cap failing/leaking. It was/is not the cap, it's the gasket/grommet/o-ring. Remember "THE MAGIC BULLET", well the gasket, that's where you tighten the top to the bottom, some are white and some are black, THEY FIT the Honeywell HWM450!!! ------- Problem solved.
