[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1203450, member: 33822"] Ha! I also think it's cool how all of this sort of falls into place for long range hunting, like you have pointed out. We shoot heavy, high BC Bullets and need fast twist barrels to stabilize that also helps the terminal ballistics... I bet there is a sweet spot for muzzle velocity vs bullet weight for a given cartridge... For example, my 338 RUM that doesn't quiet have the horsepower to push a 300 grain pill over 2800 fps...I wonder if a 250-280 grain bullet in the 2900+ range would give better terminal performance at long range?
