Re: Ultimate economy long range deer/antelope gun

You're comparing a very low drag bullet from a 257 to a very high drag bullet from a 30.

The numbers are obviously going to lean toward the 257 by a wide margin in that case.

Comparing the 257 to a 30 cal 210 JLK running 3200 fps = 2130 fps at 800 yards, 2110 FPE, -96" path, and 30" of drift in 10 mph wind. Also having the advantage of hitting them with larger frontal area.
