[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 221376, member: 2736"] Charles I would have to disagree !! There are a lot of animals that "ANY" 130gr bullet would be to light for no mater how fast it was. Yes , it would probably kill them "eventually" but would not stop them in there tracks. I have tried ultra high velocity ,light weight bullets and came away swearing never to go there again based on the end results. I tested the 140gr .284 bullets to almost 3900ft/sec in a loooong barreled 7 STW, accuracy started to go away after 3650ft/sec "but it was flat."This included all of barnes offerings in this weight and I found the barnes had a very narrow expansion window. Most bullets start at 1800ft/sec and go to 2800 for optimum performance . Also the ballistic coefficient for this bullet is .340 (Per Barnes) and the case mouth falls in front of the Ogive/Shank junction when loaded to SAAME COAL of 3.340. So thats why I dont like Federals loading, But in america we can still think and voice our opinion and that's what I was doing . No offence, and none taken J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
