[QUOTE="agentcooper, post: 1116536, member: 6087"] Both weight Barnes shoot under 1/2 M.O.A. with sorted brass. I get 3025 fps with the 168's and 3295 fps with the 145's. Funny thing is, even with the difference in B.C. and velocity for both loads, they retain nearly the same velocity at 1000yds if I remember the ballistics charts correctly. I shot a muley in region H in WY last year at 575yds with the 145's and it performed excellent. It was probably the strangest shot I've ever had in my life though. He was thrashing his horns in some junipers broadside, as the shot broke, he decided to spin around and face away from me! The bullet broke the right femur on entry and broke the left scapula on exit. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. :) I've shot both Bergers and Barnes on game and I think they both perform well but, I don't know what a Berger would have done on that shot. I would pray the fragmentation would have made it through to pass the diaphragm. Anyone ever have a shot like that with Bergers? If so, what were the results? [/QUOTE]
