[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 153058, member: 7999"] I didn't pick just any smaller bullet. I did some research and found a bullet that is designed differently. It is not made out of lead, thus it longer for it's weight. I see people on this site talking all the time about shooting elk with 107grn bullets and that seems ok? I guess it must be ok because they are only going 3200fps. Or am I missing the point. It's ok because they are big for caliber. What I am talking about is a much larger bullet than that w/ a better bc, and much faster. Maybe someone wants to do the calculations. 160grn, w/ b.c. of .57, @ 3800fps muzzle. How does the energy compare @ 600 yrds w/ 6mm 107grn, b.c. of .45, w/ muzzle velocity of 3200fps. Or maybe w/ a .308 accubond 200grn w/ muzzle velocity of 3200fps. The bullet that I want to try is proven to stay together at very high velocity, yet still function down to 2000fps. If it will shoot sub moa, where have I gone wrong? The only place I can see this going wrong is if I can not get the bullet to shoot well out of my gun. Long ways off the orriginal question, but entertaining none the less. Steve PS Still looking for advice on the orriginal thread. [/QUOTE]
