[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 408877, member: 2011"] My experience is that weight difference corresponds to bearing surface difference when relates directly to variations in velocity. I would suppose that sorting by bearing surface length would be more fruit full. Then add meplat trimming and repointing and one begins to ask where the fun went.:rolleyes: I have a load in a 338 RUM that shoots lights out at 300 yds. However with its 50-60 FPS extreme velocity spread its pretty much useless for yotes and maybe even deer beyond 700 yds. My steel coyote, full size, was pretty save at 830 yds. I've calculated, hopefully correctly that an ES over 15 with a high bc bullet will cause misses at yote @ 1000. I don't do any of the above things. I used to when shooting benchrest but my LRH rifles out shoot any bench rest rifle I had. And I had some good ones. [/QUOTE]
