[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 54125, member: 34"] VH You would have to look at the 1000 yard results to see which cartridge is being used the most. There are very few .224 cal bullets being used at all if any. I to have a 22/284 and can drive the 80 gr bullet quite fast. I also have the 6/284 and 2 or 3 6.5/284 guns to make the comparison. No 80 gr bullet in the 224 diameter will stay on course and beat the wind better then a 107 gr 6mm/284 or a 142 gr 6.5/284. It just don't happen. I've shot a lot of 80 gr 224 bullets. Check the BC of each. The 80 gr is low compared to the 107gr 6mm or the 142gr 6.5. Look at the Sierra MK line. Later DC [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
