Currently I'm an iron sight shooter. The load I use is a 55gr FMJ @ 2790fps from a 16 inch. Zeroed at 100y I've got a 3" drop at 200y, 7.5" drop at 250y, and 14.5" drop at 300y. Taking shots that long is basically coyote and crows on the farm where ~300y is the longest possible shot. I hold over a bit at 250 and 300. Looking to get an optic for the longer shots and keep the irons in place.
I'm an FFL/gunsmith, not the holster company. We specialize in subsonic ammunition and wholesale rifles.
