[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1926038, member: 10291"] I’m running 1:8 in my 6.5x284’s at 500ft Alt. At 2950MV, I get exceptional accuracy out to 1000+ yards using stated BC for the Berger 156’s. If there is any loss in BC due to the border line stability doesn’t make a difference in ballistic settings at lower elevation. My hunting areas are at higher elevations(2500-5000ft) elevation which will put me above 150 stability factor even at the typically lower temperatures. As an aside, having shot dozens of game animals with the 140/142 VLD’s with excellent results, unless you are shooting larger game(elk) or medium game at 1000-1200 yards where the retained energy of the 156 offers a benefit, for 1000 yards and under, the ballistic difference(elevation/windage) is a push between the two bullets. The higher velocity possible with the lighter 140 class bullets brings it very close to the 156 ballistics. IMO [/QUOTE]
