[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 326820, member: 1007"] With all due respect the BC's of both bullets (published) is very close. .648 for the 208 and .659 for the 180. If you run the numbers the energy of the 208 is higher well past 1K versus the 180 which is way beyond the realistic hunting ranges for either at these velocities. I have also shot the 208 finding a better BC than published. Near .670. I cannot vouch for the 180 VLD as I have not shot it so I am going with this theory based on the known mathematical variables. No flame meant here. Just going with what would suit me in this situation. To be perfectly honest, each one has their good qualities in their own right. Some of those qualities are in the external portion and some are underlaying. Neither will blow the other out of the water and niether will make the other obsolete unless you dont want to mess with a wild cat. [/QUOTE]
