I honestly never shot to 1 mile. I'm older now and 600-700 yards is my limit. Sure is fun to try though.
Like I said I've not seen you all have the wind velocities that we have out west. The denser forests and swamps cut down on the wind. Whereas we out here in the west have open spaces and it's common to have at least 10 mph winds out here. Plus micro climates of canyons, mountains, and hills which will channel the wind increasing the velocity in many cases.So does wind in the west somewhere affect bullets differently than wind in the east? LOL
You make zero sense. BC is BC and wind speed is wind speed, you can see the charts I posted for actual data with both bullets.

Lucky. I'd clear the tips, get a Northland barrel of the cartridge to your liking. And have at them!I have lots of .22-250 brass laying around…like a lot. I also have a metric crap ton of 77 grn SMKs laying around.
TMK should work, look forward to seeing your success!
I run the 85.5 berger out of my 220 swift AI and it's a great bullet. Pretty easy to tune and holds up well to high speed and fast twist(7in)That 85.5 with a .524 G1 BC IS a big improvement over the 77 SMK. I would not hunt deer with these. I would use one of my other rifles. I could use up the 77s in my ARs.
Usually hunt deer with a .30 or 7mm. For anyone using them, how are they grouping?

I'm hoping to prairie dog hunt this summer to see how they do on pdogs.
