[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 179865, member: 8"] Well, here is what you have to have. A bullet with a BC of 0.700 and A muzzle velocity of 3000 fps or A bullet with a BC of 0.725 and A muzzle velocity of 2900 fps or A bullet with a BC of 0.75 and A muzzle velocity of 2800 fps The BC of 0.7-0.75 is possible from Richard Graves, I expect, and the bullet would weigh about 155 grains I would guess. In a 26 inch barrel this would be achievable with a case capacity somewhere around a 264 Win Mag to a 6.5-300 Wby. I do not know the dynamics of short barrels and fast powders so I have no opinion of case capacity for an XP. My opinion is rather than going with the conventional approach of designing a cartridge to do the job, [COLOR="Blue"]design a bullet to do the job.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
