[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1958813, member: 59526"] If I were you I’d look around for reported velocities of the 165 SST from 16 inch barrels. Find that and run those numbers through something like JBM trajectory simplified in the conditions you anticipate. You can also compare it to the 178 ELD-X with an estimated velocity. If you can, get G7 values for the bullets from Bryan Litz testing. You can either start the bullet faster or push a sleeker bullet. Running these simulations will tell you how they should stack up.
