[QUOTE="brentc, post: 602586, member: 16938"] I see about .610 BC at 3200 fps at sea level with the CE to reach these numbers. For most guys this is not even close to real world with an average 180 as was originally compared. The biggest disservice is that the Cutting Edge Bullets are not readily available, and they are not even close to a practical price for people who shoot alot. $60+ for 50 bullets is ridiculous and enough to make one feel guilty just to shoot a 5 shot practice session. I'll take $25 per 50 bullet Bergers for equal performance any day. Shooting a 300 Win mag should never exceed the cost of a 338 Lapua. I agree mostly. I will however state that this is a [U][COLOR=red]long[/COLOR][/U] range hunting forum and all suggestions will be made to provide premium performance at ranges exceeding the average hunting range. I never suggested any bullet type that does not have a list of dead animals behind it. The truth of the matter is, that high BC hunting bullets are the best to use for long range hunting and the fact remains that most high BC bullets are heavy for caliber bullets. The caveat here is that you have enough rifle to drive them. No disagreement here, and I do respect your opinion. Everyone on here comes with different needs. I'm glad you've found something that works for you. I just choose to take the hit on the shoulder instead of in the wallet. [/QUOTE]
