Many ballistic programs default to 1.5". My SR-25 has a height of 2.5". This makes a big difference in your actual trajectory calculation. I tried a ballistic program set at 1.5". It calculated 8 clicks from 100 to 200 yards. It actually took 6 due to the 2.5" sight height. The 300 yard correction showed 21 clicks when it actually took 16.
While the 7MM Remington Magnum is primarily used for hunting Western big game, it's very flat trajectory and inherent accuracy has attracted the interest of competitive shooters as well. It was used to win the Wimbledon 1,000 yard match with a Sierra 168 Gr SMK BTHP.
The 168's can be shot faster, yeilding better trajectory at closer ranges. It won't stay supersonic as far as the 175, but I've fired 168's with a high enough MV that (if the ballistic charts are correct) would be supersonic to 1000yds. The higher BC of the 175 would have better wind-bucking at longer ranges.
Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. [1][2] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization.
