[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1549520, member: 54383"] I have recently done the same thing. For ever I got hung up on the highest bc I could find. Then I started thinking real world. Now I do just what you did but also pay attention to lowest FPS the bullet should open at. If that distance is where I want it or farther I always go lighter. For example my 6.5 creed I was shooting the 147 eldm. Then I started to compare my actual hunting distances I feel good about and looking at speed and energy. I ended up going with hammers because they are faster and flatter to the distance I want to hunt at. If I need more moa I’d rather use it on steel than on game. It’s made me rethink all my ammo. Now I only use the highest bc for my real long range stuff. Like the .338 lapua improved or .375 as if I know I may have a shot that’s outside the 6.5 I take a bigger cartridge [/QUOTE]
