[QUOTE="liltank, post: 558858, member: 13275"] With the recent data introduced to me in another thread ([URL]http://stevespages.com/jpg/bestbullet.jpg[/URL]), I have changed my bullet choice from 175 Nosler Custom Comps to 168NBT. At 1400fps they will still open creating additional damage to the animals important parts (heart, lungs, spine). So with this new found knowledge and the ability to have a bullet open up at such a low speed, I plan to take my .308 to 900yds depending on what my resulting velocity is and accuracy. Should I achieve 2850fps+, then that will be my distance. FLAME ON!!!!!!!!:D Because of the length barrel I currently am using, it is very plausible that I will achieve 2900fps if not more with the 168's. Here's the drop data with the 168 in a possible hunting scenario here in PA: Humidity 60%, Temp 40, Baro 29.85 (just a guess until I get to my spot, but should be about right), Elevation 1000ft. (give or take 50ft, might get higher is some areas depending on where I go) Bullet: Nosler Hunting Balistic Tip, 168gr. BC: .490 (On the box is written, suggested for Whitetail and Antelope) As per JBM: 900yds, 1426fps 26MOA Should I get more velocity, then I could be pushing it to around 950yds. Tank [/QUOTE]
