[QUOTE="Remmy700, post: 1656304, member: 36564"] You are right brother on the speed kills shooting those little light weight bullets however it all depends on what the OPs intended purpose is with this rifle. Few things to look at here when deciding this which way to go. This is just a few simple numbers I ran. 1000 yds with your 58 gr Vmax now this is run using Litz real world numbers at your 4000 FPS just as an estimate. MOA correction at 1K 25.5, 500 yds is 6 now the doozy is wind with just a say steady 5 mph 9 to 3 at 1k is 6 moa. Compare that to a 105 grain using Litz real BC and we will do rough estimate of 3100 at 1K is 23.5 minutes and at 500 is 8 and wind correction with same wind is 3. So if you are hunting yotes or Pdogs epically within say 800 for sure your speed kills theory is absolutely correct but if the intended purpose is say ringing steel at 1k and out especially if you having some wind that speed don't do nothing but kill barrel then as that much higher BC will take over! At 1200 that ol 58 gr bullet takes about 41.7 minutes vs the 32 minutes on the 105. They both have their place no doubt. [/QUOTE]
