[QUOTE="The Surgeon, post: 557314, member: 36761"] Have you looked at the ballistics on the Berger 185 gr match hunting VLD. This bullet has a G1- BC of .549 and the G7 is .281. I punched an estimated velocity of 2930 and it's pushing 1160 ft/lbs @ a grand. At 750 yards it falls 104.7" The 168 gr Berger falls 96.1 @ the same distance of 750 yards. According to the computer/software You might give the 190 gr a look also. I know you are pretty close to the hunt date. But, afterwards it might deserve a look and some field testing. You might find that the heavier bullets work better. Of course that would depend on what the gun likes and live data. Good luck on the hunt. We better have some pic's of that monster mule when you get back. Let us know how it goes and be safe. [/QUOTE]
