[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 345706, member: 10540"] you should look at what bullets you want to use, and find out (here or from the mfg) the lowest velocity for expansion. then use a ballistics program to see what distance you fall below that velocity, and see if you can live with that. for example, the 150 ballistic tip, bc 493 launched at 2750fps, would carry 2063fps at 400 and just 1625fps at 700. What I don't know is, will a ballistic tip open up at just 1625fps?? Maybe a different bullet would be better, like a 162 Amax, bc .625. launched at 2600fps would carry 2067fps at 400 and 1714fps at 700. Again, possibly the same issue. maybe folks on here know min expansion velocities on these & other bullets. Otherwise contact the manufacturers. [/QUOTE]
