[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1693050, member: 87243"] Twist rate on this rig is 1 in 8, however I live pretty high, even the "low lands" where I hunt pronghorn is 6600 ft elevation, and at 70 ° that gives this bullet a 1.9 s.g. rating. As far as impact, I never saw any changes with the 140 VLD, AND I put 5 on target with the applied ballistics dope at 1100, however my verticle was so poor that I'm not sure if it was exact. Also, when I drill out the tips I'm not really drilling them out, I'm just ensuring that the hole is still there. It's not really any bigger/deeper than from the factory, but when they are tumbled in the HBN they tend to get slightly rolled over. I'm just about to head out the door, gonna stop and confirm drop between 1000 and 1400 or so prior to picking out a goat. Should have it on video this evening, will try to get it up for y'all to see.
