[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2635987, member: 94556"] It is the same copper alloy for both. The expansion of the SBD2 is better on the low end. What is important is pay attention to the recommended twist rates, because these will impart enough spin on the bullet to assure it stay stable throughout its entire flight and hit nose first without excessive precession so that it will expand appropriately. When we do low speed testing I use tighter twist barrels than recommended. We have in field evidence of an Elk kill at 1225 yds with the 195 gr 308SBD-2 bullet impacting at 1760 fps and dropping the Elk in its tracts. I also have evidence of a competitors long range hunting bullet of .375 caliber hitting an Aoudad at 950 yds 6 times in the shoulder from a 375 Enabelr and the animal not dropping after the first 5 hits and still needed to be put out with a pistol. They all apparently penciled through. [/QUOTE]
