[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1403516, member: 54383"] Lol yes I did buy it just for that and some practice. Is is worse that this is after I gave him my first .338 lapua in a xlr chassis for his birthday. I'd say he owes me. Anyway I know the lighter ones get terrible bc but the bc usually doesn't overtake the flatter trajectory till later in flight. Similar to using a 123gr in a 6.5 creed it will be flatter than a 147 I shoot but at a certain point the 147 takes over. I'm just thinking out loud that because the barrel is short usually the heavies need more length to get to speed. So I'm trying to decide what to do with this thing. I'm thinking a lighter faster bullet out of the short barrel should still get me to 800-1000 with plenty of punch and be fairly flat for the range it will be used most 0-500 yards. [/QUOTE]
