[QUOTE="trophyhunter170, post: 669967, member: 30392"] Len, Thanks for your info. Is the terminal performance of the 177 Cart. on deer size game equal to the 180 Bergers? Also I just got some info you might be interested in on all these bullets from a very well known person in the long range game and here is what he stated. Have measured the BC's for all the bullets you mentioned, they are as follows. Note these are G1 BC's, all averaged from 3000 to 1500 fps. Berger 180 VLD: .659 Berger 180 Hybrid: .674 JLK 180 VLD: .645 Cauterucio 177 VLD: .683 Cauterucio 189 VLD: .703 Of course BC does not come into play unless they are effective for hunting and are accurate. Just trying to start with what gives good down range terminal killing performance and highest energy when I start working up loads. Want to make my barrel last as long as possible. [/QUOTE]
