[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2435283, member: 87243"] To my knowledge they are the highest bc/weight hunting bullet we have come across for the .277 bore. We took a couple deer, several pronghorn and an elk with them this year, and they worked very well, we never recovered a bullet, and they appeared to leave very good wound channels. I will say, we didn't get any low velocity impacts with these this year, the farthest shot was around 550 and impact was about 2450, it was shot from a 19" barrel starting at 3030. But even at 1000 from a 6.8 western, it looks like it would be close to 2100 fps retained velocity. Maybe this next year we will see some farther range impacts, and have a better idea of 600-1000 yard on game performance. [/QUOTE]
