[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 869957, member: 11717"] Tris, I wouldn't attempt to kill a deer at 500 yds with any 70 grain bullet. A 105 hybrid out of a 6-284 should be able to do it handily. It will also be flatter. There are only two things that affect trajectory, wind drift and TOF. They are velocity and BC. A faster bullet with with a lower BC will be flatter in the short range, but a slower bullet with a higher BC will flatter down range. Based on what your priorities seem to be, I think the 6-284 shooting 105 hybrids is your ticket. Another good thing about this combo is RL33 works well with it for boosts of 100 fps plus. [/QUOTE]
