[QUOTE="Kristopher Megahan, post: 1562574, member: 108902"] I just looked at quick load/quick target and with a 24" barrel in a lapua loaded with 89 gr of RL 19, MV with the 185gr is 3140, leaving about 2100fps and 1800 ft-lbs at 1000 yds. That isnt terrible. I have killed lots of things closer with similar velocity energy ratios and less SD. I do understand wind drift will play a much bigger role and I have a lot of shooting and studying to do. I have had a lot of good results with light, high BC monolithics in smaller ccals in terms of wound generation, precision, weight retention and penetration, including in Elk at closer range. I have lots of work to do, but I am not writing them off for this project. [/QUOTE]
