[QUOTE="BlackKnight755, post: 501296, member: 25675"] Mark, Sorry if it seemed that we were hijacking the original thread subject but maybe you were able to extract some useful information from what CSV and I were talking about. Like I was saying, the main reason that I use the 140's is that I have all my load and range data from the competition load. I could work up a load with the 130's but I have put in many long hours with the 140's and I just chose to use them. I know where they are going and I know what they will do when they get there. To put it in simple form, and I think that CSV will agree, more velocity/flatter trajectory with the 130's out to the yardage that you have stated. Wind drift difference is not going to be that big a deal at the shorter yardage but out past the 600 yard line the 140's will have a slight advantage over the 130's in the wind. All in all both the 130's and the 140's are great bullets and I don't think that you will have any problems with either. I think that the deer that you shoot will be DRT with good shot placement. Good shooting and again I hope that you have gotten some useful information, BK. [/QUOTE]
