[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1428055, member: 101755"] IMO...130's and 135's is about all you need BC wise if you have a self imposed limit of 500yds. I've recently built one as well. It does shoot 140's quite well, but I like a bit more speed that a 130gr bullet can provide...very soon I will be getting some 124gr Hammer bullets up and running in time for deer season. I too am limiting the bulk of my shooting of game to 500ish yards. So high BC bullets are not a necessity for me. I will take a little flatter shooting bullet because that is all I really need. Now for pounding steel, yes I like higher BC if airing out some lead. But for hunting...I feel the need for speed! [/QUOTE]
