[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 243017, member: 11717"] If you can get 3100 out of your rifle with a 160, then you should easily be able to get 2950 with a 180. When I run a 180 VLD with a .684 BC @ 2950 @ 3000' elev, I get a vel of 1814 @ 1000 yds. Also, as I mentioned earlier, the AB's appear to open at slower than advertised velocities at LR. We had a discusion about this on another thread and i concluded that it *might* have to do with heat generated to the jacket over an extended TOF for a LR shot. Whatever the reason, the AB's in a couple of instances opened at significantly lower velocities. You might try the VLDs on coyotes or antelope at 1000 yds and see what happens? [/QUOTE]
