[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 770150, member: 35183"] I suspect that you will find it hard to do better than the 95gr SST's for long range. Most heavier bullets you will be able to shoot will have a much lower BC and will shed energy fast. Data below directly from Hornady. You have to consider how much energy you need to kill a specific species, for example, at 500 yards 802ftlb is more than enough to kill a coyote, perhaps a deer but probably not an Elk... The 100gr hunting bullets will be better at close range. 0 100 200 300 400 500 Yards 3185 2908 2648 2402 2169 1950 Velocity 2139 1784 1478 1217 992 802 Energy [/QUOTE]
