[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 187905, member: 9705"] [b]Start at equal muzzle energy[/b] If you start the 140 accubond at equal muzzle energy as the Berger 168 VLD, then the Berger has less wind drift and more energy past 600 yds. Maybe for some reason you cann't get the Berger up to the same muzzle energy. For instance the magazine is too short so the bullet is too far back in the case. But my calculator says the Berger adds 100 yds to range for equal wind drift and 200 yds for equal retained energy at the 800-1000 yd mark. I'm hoping to get the 168 to shoot in my 10 twist 7-08 AI. But haven't tried it yet. [/QUOTE]
