[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 510274, member: 9253"] You left out an important parameter in your question. That is the air density where you expect to shoot. There are two conditions that need to be met. One is whether the bullet arrives at the target with sufficient velocity to avoid transonic effects. Any ballistics program will answer that if given the muzzle velocity and atmospheric conditions. The other is whether the bullet wil lbe stable over the path and be accurate. Bullet specs and ballistic programs are inadequate to predict that. The reasonable way to find out is to shoot them.
