[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2106108, member: 54383"] Problem with the higher bc bullets is they start much slower. The minimum opening FPS still is what limits them at distance. When running the numbers on my 6.5 creed the 124 hammer and the 147 both reached min velocity at about the same distance. So the high bc means nothing gained but way more drop at normal hunting ranges. So yes you can hit your target farther out with a high bc accubond or such but if the bullet doesn’t open you put an animal through something not needed. If you need more distance you need to realize the creed is not the round. No matter what the guy at cabelas or the bar tell you. [/QUOTE]
