[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 648843, member: 4686"] Rich, A question: You say not much more than 600 yds. At 600 yds, 8,000' elev, 2800 fps, a 140 VLD only has 5" or 3/4 MOA better wind than a 140 Partition. At 820 yds, the limit I imposed above to keep impact velocity of the VLD @ 2200 fps or faster, it's 8.9" or 1 MOA better with wind than the VLD. Is that enough for you to keep from using it that far out? I realize the bottom expansion velocity, stated by Nosler, is 1800 fps, which takes one out to 940 yds. Alan [/QUOTE]
