[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 73248, member: 3249"] Not to lecture you, but I have already been down the road you are taking. Skip the light bullets. Go straight to 180 and above. No it's not as flat or as sexy but the bottom line is it is more effective for long range work. The drop is the easy part, the wind is what you need to worry about and the heavier bullets will buck it a whole lot better. The higher BCs will result in the heavier to overtaking the lighter in velocity somewhere around 600 yds and they will carry much more energy downrange. The ES will also be alot less on the heavier bullets, resulting in less verticle stringing @ extreme ranges. I could have saved alot of money on powder and bullets if I would have just listened to the guys around here. As far as the lost river's go, if you want to spend $1 a shot for just the bullet, feel free. If you want to get the same performance for much less, contact Richard and get some of his 190 grain or heavier bullets. Sorry for the rant. Just trying to stop you from making the same mistakes I have. B.J. [/QUOTE]
