[QUOTE="cowboyarcher, post: 764377, member: 14163"] Yes my numbers were based on the Nosler site not a chronograph. I don't think Laramie qualifies as a city but our average wind speed is over 20 mph so I know what you mean! It definitely sounds like you have more experience than I do at distance, but given a set powder capacity, barrel length, BC, etc the lighter bullet will generally do better at trajectory and wind drift. Getting beyond 1k may change this. Here are the Matrix bullets I was using in the above calculations: [url=http://www.matrixballistics.com/.277-Caliber-rifle-bullets.html].277 Caliber Rifle Bullets Built for Accuracy | Matrix Ballistics[/url] All that said I think a 308 or a 270 would be a fine choice to do what the OP is after.
