[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 74011, member: 8"] Hello DS I spent most of yesterday shooting different bullets through a 240Wby w 1-10 twist looking for a bullet that was not only good on deer but accurate enough to shoot at paper at 1000 yds. I have shot several deer with the 85 gr speer BT and the Barnes 85 gr XLC but they just do not deliver 1000 yd paper punching accuracy in my gun. End results of yesterday were that the 100 gr Sierra was the clear winner with the 95 gr Nosler BT doing OK and the 95 SST acceptable. I did not retest the Speer 100 gr BT but it had on a previous occassion been bested by the Sierra. The Sierra Game king has a BC of 0.430 - not a match bullet BC but it is not too bad. A couple of weeks ago I went and picked out a place where I can get up to 600 yd shots on deer. Of course it is just as likely that I will get trampled by a deer and have to shoot at 20 Ft. So anyway that is the compromise I reached on the same question but slighly different gun. [/QUOTE]
