[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 236661, member: 2011"] Mikecr, That much eh? Wouldn't hat tho't it. my problem is I'm shooting 140gr 277 bullets w/a .496 BC @3600 FPS. A 170 class bullet w/a bc of 0.74 @ 3250 will out do the faster 140 class bullet at any distance all the way around. However the 170 class bullets are no longer available. But I've found a maker producing very similar bullets to the aforementioned 170 class bullet. Its better up front in that it has a bronze point vs a hollow point. On the back end it is flat based vs RBBT. I'm not looking for a free lunch, just somewhat of a feeling for what's going on before I jump in.
