[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 1380362, member: 21361"] Hello, I have finished a drop test suggested by Leupold because the CDS turret sent me does not match the long range ballistics of a rifle I own. I built a very tall modular target and was astounded at the bullet drop from 400 to 500 yards. I also found that the bullet that works like lightning for closer range shots to 350 yards, just starts to shoot mediocre at long range in this single shot, bolt action, heavy barreled rifle. I would welcome your insights as to a specific 150 grain hunting bullet in 7mm that roughly maintains its BC while in flight, and works well in expanding at both close and far distances and is capable of near target accuracy. Please do not overwhelm me with data on the heavier ballsitically superior 7mm hunting bullets that weigh up to 30 grains heavier than the bullet weight I wish to shoot. Thank you for your attention in this matter. GS [/QUOTE]
