[QUOTE="Kiwi Greg, post: 988089, member: 13456"] If your buddies can constantly hit a 23" target at 2000ms the only way to "beat" them is a superior cartridge, which is more velocity or a bigger calibre/BC ie .375, even then you will need a fair bit of luck on your side. In my experience a heavier projectile with a similar BC will "hold" better than a lighter one in the same conditions at ELR. To push a 230 at the required velocity to keep up with the 300 in the Lapua will be a barrel burner for sure, not a problem for a hunting rifle but a major problem for a target/steel rifle. [/QUOTE]
