[QUOTE="Guest, post: 24359"] Texas These results will suprise you. I can not find a Matchking on Sierra's Web site for 250 grains. But I did the comparison based on a 250 grain projectile in .338 with a b.c. of .600, and I think this is generous. The numbers listed below are the Muzzle Velocity in feet per second that you must fire the .338 bullet with a b.c. of .600 to equal the Wolf's performance in 3 catagories: ENERGY, DROP, and WIND DEFLECTION IN A 10 MPH cross wind. 600 YARDS ENERGY - 3,470 FPS. DROP - 3,250 FPS. WIND DEFLECTION - 4,440 FPS. FOUR THOUSAND NOT A TYPO 1000 YARDS ENERGY - 3,710 FPS. DROP - 3,350 FPS. WIND DEFLECTION - 4,600 FPS. The Wolf fires a 253 gr. pt projectile with a b.c. of .860 that rises to .880 at about 600 yds. At 600 yds. it has retained 3,340 ft. lbs. of energy, dropped 74 in. from the bore line, and only been deflected 11.2" by a 10 mph wind. At 1,000 yds. the Wolf has retained 2,480 ft. lbs. of energy, dropped 230 in. from the bore line, and deflected 35" in a 10 mph wind. A practical analysis shows that the .338 could shoot as flat as a Wolf out to 1,000 yards without going too much longer on the barrel. Both cartridges have enough energy at 1,000 to kill deer sized game very efficiently, but the Wolf has quite an advantage, both in energy delivered and terminal effect with a powdered core. The real dealmaker comes when you have to produce a good shot in the wind. the .338 250 has no chance of approaching the wind performance of the Wolf no matter how long a barrel you hang on the rifle. Since the NUMBER 1 cause of a miss at long range is wind deflection, you can see why I carry the Wolf when its time to make Ultra long shots, or even long shots in difficult conditions. There are already 280 and 300 grain bullets, but they are flat base designs and used for subsonic work out of SR-25's. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [ 12-30-2002: Message edited by: S1 ] [/QUOTE]
