[QUOTE="trebark, post: 491285, member: 19172"] Interesting. I think your velocity assumptions are in the realm of reality. Given that, it does look like the better bullet is the 185. Never even thought to run the numbers with the 185. I always applied the conventional wisdom that the heavier/higher BC bullet would be better in the end. Of course, if you start looking beyond 1000yards, the heavier/higher BC bullet will take over. Although you don't intend to hunt beyond 1k, practicing at 1200+ is great fun. [/QUOTE]
