[QUOTE="Broz, post: 609398, member: 7503"] I think you will like them. Wait till you see how they buck the wind. That shot on the Bull at 511 yds, we were in an out cropping of rocks shooting across a valley. We were right on top and the wind was touching 40 mpg in the gusts. We talked it over as we felt it was a low percentage shot. But by this time in the season we had good confidence in the combination. It was decided to go for tight to the shoulder as at this distance even a 1 or 2 moa windage miss would still be good with a Berger the way the bull was laying. And a follow up shot would be ready if needed. The result wasthe bull just rolled back and kicked out his front leg. This is the way it should be with long range hunting in my mind. Plenty of time to plan a shot even as close as 500 yards. Unless a guy is a clown and walks out in the open skylined on ridges. :D:D Good Luck with them! Let me know what you get with Velocity. A friend is loading them now in one of my old 30-378's and is close to 3000 with no pressure. I think we will stop there. Velocity has bennifits, but it is not the end all and can be a problem at close range with a true long range bullet. That is, if you let it. Jeff [/QUOTE]
