[QUOTE="midnightmalloy, post: 1421237, member: 25605"] Uhhh kind of. But not really. When you dig into how hornady calculates their bc’s you notice you have to lower it quite a bit as their bc numbers are based on a “200yd bc” where berger states their bc numbers for long range shooting. Once you dig s little deeper you notice that if you want to “shoot past 600 yards” you need to use th lower bc numbers. Still impressive but the 180 eld-m is not recommended for hunting like the berger 195’s hence why I wanted to see a heavier offering in the eld-x line. Hornady says to use the mach 1.75 numbers for longer than 600 yards. See the pics below strait off the hornady website. [ATTACH=full]94033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94034[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
