[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 896586, member: 61747"] Well with that large of a budget you can have a hell of a camera. You will need to look at the pro grade cameras. Way out of my league. 300 gr sierras,94 gr of h-1000, 215 gm primers es of 20 fps 10 shots, 2820 average speed. The conditions 45/ 80/ 29.30. This info tells me your bullet is is 954 fps vs 1000 fps. 2200 vs 2000. At some point the bullets have just pieces of metal falling out of the sky and tumbling around. At 1750 this bullet is in the read. The only real good one to see this affect is to shoot a piece of cardboard and look for the bullet strike. My guess is that at 2000 the bullet is still sort of spinning like and hitting the target point on. At 2200 it is wobbling and tumbling and hitting the target on its side etc. The 300 OTM with the same info gets you to 1950 before it goes into the red and has the same velocity at 2200 as the Sierra at 2000. In my opinion for shooting rocks/targets there is no comparison between the two. The BC difference is quite high. I would look at the 300 VLD as well. Gives you another 50 FPS at 2200 then the OTM, 1067 fps vs the sierra at 954. ELR is where is high G7 BC is going to be your friend. Not only is HIGH BC the number you need to look at but also velocity, IMHO. A 250 pill might be just as good if not better if the speed is high enough. You think about spending some time with a ballistics computer and do some comps. I like doing that stuff to see what computer modeling results are then field testing. [/QUOTE]
