[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1957833, member: 59526"] So I’m not sure what velocity the 130’s would get from a 16 but assuming 2800 which I feel is generous and reasonable it would only have 900 ft/lbs at 500 and ~1750 ft/sec retained velocity. If he HAD to make it work id go heavier and higher BC. For me I have a 22 inch barreled 30-06 shooting a 200 gr SGK at ~2685 ft/sec. it gets to 500 in the same conditions going over 2000 ft/sec and with over 1800 ft/lbs of energy. [/QUOTE]
