[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 511959, member: 505"] What rain, been snowing here for two days. Beautiful white memorial day here. Socked in rain/snow mix now that is why I am in here on the computer and loading bullets today. At least my bullets will be ready when the weather is. Nobody around here has ever seen so much rain. One guy looked at his records from his rain gauge and we have got more rain in the last month than the last five years combined. We live in a desert and had nine inches one weekend. Will be doing bc test on the barnes 185 ttsx and CE 225 when the weather clears. My drops on jbm show the 185 to be quite a bit higher than listed. I was actually coming in near .5. The CE I shot once with my 338-378 to 1000 yards at 3466 fps. The drops showed .653. I talked to the ce guys for about an hour and they said the .64 was conservative and it could be a little low at .64. But who knows until I get two calibrated chronos set up. My 338 RUM pushed the 185 over 3500 fps easily. I easily killed stuff out to 800 yards with that bullet last year out of my 338 winchester at 3220 fps. Out of a 338 RUM 1000 yards easy if the wind cooperates. Out of several animals the bullet performed perfect as I could imagine. I think light is the way to go with the barnes. We have killed numerous animals with the 257 wby and 100 ttsx's. Perfect performance every time. I can say from the old barnes x days these new bullets are way better, No comparison. Thanks to everyone for sharing so much bullet info here. New guys can really learn a lot here from years of experience. Phorwath, It wouldn't do me any good if I knew the spot. It would you though. Maybe you could claim me as a long lost relative or something and I could hunt to. [/QUOTE]
