[QUOTE="RFtinkerer, post: 701781, member: 34460"] I don't know that I'd suggest a 150, and especially a 125 gn over a 165. The velocity difference is overcome around 600 m or so for 150 vs 165, as the 165 preserves more due to a better BC. And the correction is only about 0.2 mils different, not much at all. The SSTs are explosive at fast muzzle velocities, as would be seen in the 50-100 meter range, and the 125s would probably be very bad for that close in. I think the heavier bullet would do better over the stated range. [/QUOTE]
