[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 382694, member: 15748"] Good answers here. The 168 should stay supersonic at 1000 at the speeds you've cited here, but it's far from an ideal choice. You're much better off giving up some velocity to go with a heavier bullet and a higher BC of anything out at distance. Byt the time they've both gotten downrange a bit, you'll see that the 168 has slowed down to the point that the heavier, higher BC bullet will be moving faster. From that point on out, it'll just continue to leave the lighter bullet in the dust. Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
