[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 781214, member: 35183"] Have you run the ballistics on those heavy bullets ? They are good, but no laser. As I said in my previous post, my 95's are running at 3400fps and get 6" of drop from 100-300 yards (285 to be exact). To 400 yards the drop is 17" and at 500 it is 31.9". The problem with the whole laser concept is that the super fast bullets which have little drop also bleed energy fast and the wind blows them all over the place. If where you hunt you seldom have much wind, then your in luck. Stick with the factory barrel and look at lighter boat tail bullets. But if the wind blows or you need to kill things at 400 yards then the heavier VLD's will shine and you will just have to range and dial up your scope like the rest of us.... [/QUOTE]
