[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 112173, member: 10"] Robbor, while on paper the heavier, higher BC bullets may not seem to offer much of an advantage, I can assure you and I am sure most others on this board will also agree that using a heavy, long VLD or ULD type bullet with a high BC will make hits at long range MUCH easier then with a lighter, faster, lower BC bullet. Don;t get to caught up in trajectories, bullet drop is easy to figure and is consistant. Wind drift is critical and even though it may not look like much on paper or a computer screen, the heavies will make consistant hits at long range easier. They seem to make even more differnce then they are predicted to. Just my opinion. Oh, and yes a heavier pill would make your big 300 RUM run much more consistantly as Bill stated. I would start with a 200 gr Accubond but also look at the 200 gr SMK, 210 gr SMK and 210 gr Berger as well as the 210 gr Wildcat ULD RBBT. The Accubond is on the lower end BC wise but a better game bullet and generally very accurate. The Berger, Sierra and Wildcat will offer higher BCs and also have plenty of bullet weight for big game hunting. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
