[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 253352, member: 1007"] Yeah your numbers are VERY conservitive. You can safely get 3100-3200 FPS out of a 200 grainer. Sierra game king is .560 on the BC and the 200 AB is .588. These will offer around 1300 FPE at 1000 yards in standaard air conditions. I am getting 3000 FPS with a 220 SMK and at 1K offers 1400 FPE with its mean BC of .630. The 180 AB I am getting 3300+ FPS. This is getting me over 1050 FPE at 1K. The 150's are only offering me less than 800 FPE at 1K. You question why use anything more than the 150's? Most would question why use anything less than a 180-200 in this cartridge. 30 cal 150's with their low sectional densities arent well suited for long range elk or moose. The 180's and 200's+ are very well suited as well as their energy levels are 1.5-1.75 times higher than the 150's. These of course are real word results here not "paper" ballistics. [/QUOTE]
