[QUOTE="gcamp54, post: 585288, member: 16056"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Thanks for sharing your tests. That is an interesting comparison. With this test it appears that even 1800fps is not sufficient. I have a calculated velocity of 1778fps at 800 yds and 2028fps at 600 yds with the 200gr Accubond at sea level and 1776fps at 950 yds at 5000ft above sea level.
