[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 34689, member: 8947"] TTH, both rigs are lethal at 1000yds. The problem is can you dope the wind at that range? Also, retained vel is so much higher in a high BC bullet. Graphic example: I had a 30gibbs which spat out 165gr SST at 3075fps. Shot in the .2 MOA at 250yds. My friend has a 280 Rem which spat out 168gr MK at 2950fps. Also very accurate. At 750 and 1000yds, the 7mm hit harder and was so much easier to hit with in the wind. Remember that you are trying to hit a milk jug size target. Misjudge the wind by 1 or 2 MPH and you are going to miss the target. The higher BC bullet will drift less making that wind doping that much easier and because of the increased bullet weight, will be more effective is not quite in the sweet spot. Jerry [/QUOTE]
