[QUOTE="1Moose, post: 1474490, member: 74044"] For that bullet here’s what applied ballistics shows (at 5200 feet altitude): 2600 FPS muzzle, at 200 yds you have 2318 FPS and 1671 ft-lbs 2800 FPS muzzle, at 200 yard you have 2506 FPS and 1952 ft-lbs. My understanding is the SST is a pretty frangible bullet, so I can’t imagine the lower velocity is going to matter. Seems you have plenty of velocity and energy (and still would even at sea level if he’s more like where you are). With the improved precision of the slower load, I think that would be the priority. Admitted, I haven’t shot any game with the SST, but hope that’s helpful. [/QUOTE]
