[QUOTE="270 lefty, post: 606049, member: 16003"] I think your point is good some can get carried away with bc as I did with speed in my younger years. I spent a lot of cash up front for the rig then more for the load development in different powders ect, to determine that sweet spot. Which good grouper helped me with. After that sweet spot had been reached with the highest bc bullet that grouped with a satisfactory standard diviation, that is when I purchased enough powder from the same lot & bullets from the same lot to last the life of the barrel, dont wan,t to be changing bullets now. The last thing I want to worry about is do I want a Fail safe or my wildcat 169.5 or weather the shot will be 300 yards or 1200 yards. If I am looking at a boone & crocket Mulie @ 1200 and I can't close the gap I would be kicking myself from now until Sunday if I had to pass because I had one of those premium bonded bullets that I know wouldn't expand at that distance. But that 300 yard shot I know both bullets will kill. On the other hand know your limitations. and your load, shoot & prepare yourself for that situation if the oppertunity of a lifetime present's itself at that distance. And if you feel comfortable with the shot you will probably make it. [/QUOTE]
