[QUOTE="mcdil, post: 2634009, member: 112571"] Not sure what elevation these were shot at, so that plays a role in impact velocity for sure. The furthest one taken was at 513 yards with the same terminal result. I've radared the 144gr at a G7 of .234. Like I mentioned, I'm not sure what he's trued his BC to, but if we assume the radar number is correct, and say 2000' elevation, that over 500 yard shot was around 2400 fps or just a tad faster at impact. That's one of the advantages of the Afterburner is that it starts fast and stays fast comparatively speaking for its weight. Yes, it helps for the true, dedicated long range guys, especially when we get to our fast twist options, but they know how to handle both aero and hydro parameters correctly using different bullets, and understand those limits. It REALLY helps the more average range hunter that is trying to extend their 400-500 max thresholds, at least from the bullet's total performance point of view and what their current equipment and skills offer them.
