[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 812663, member: 55580"] I will touch on a couple of your questions with my own personal opinions/thoughts: I think this just goes along with increases in knowledge and technology. Why do we NEED higher BC Bullets? You see, for example, companies like Nosler trying to enter that market and get better results than Berger. It is just like anything else, you always want better. Why would a golfer on the PGA Tour want the latest and greatest driver when they could use a three year old one (or an old persimmon one for that matter)? It is always about increases in technology. Do we NEED to use range finders for yardages? No, but it is a heck of a lot easier and more accurate than guessing :) The caliber I bought was what I felt I could get the best ballistics out of while using it as my only gun for Antelope, Deer, Elk, Moose, Bear, etc. I don't have the money to have multiple setups, so I had to pick what I felt was best, overall, for those animals without going too large or too small. I think another way of looking at this would be to ask this: why don't you load up your STW with 140gr pills instead of the 180's? For the exact reasons others choose larger caliber, higher BC bullets. Just my $.02 on everything :D [/QUOTE]
