[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 343083, member: 11717"] Hello Soundwaves and welcome. It's very difficult to give you much info without knowing exactly what bullets you're using and at what velocities. I did a search on PMC ammo and the only rifle ammo I saw was the bronze line which is a full metal jacket. I would avoid using FMJ's on most game. For shooting up to 400 meters with the 7mm RM the lighter to mid range bullets will give you flatter trajectory and a greater PBR than the heavier bullets. Most factory bullets wieghing 175 gr, i.e., Nosler partitions, will have a very low BC and bleed off velocity and energy very quickly. That is also the case with the Fed classic 150 gr SP's which have a fairly blunt nose. I would however, choose the 150 SP over the 175 FMJ (if it is an FMJ) for Ibex and such. I think the best way for you to determine your PBR is to shoot 200, 300 and 400 meters and determine your drops unless you can come up with BC's and velocities. Not much help, but that's the way I see it. Cheers, Mark [/QUOTE]
