[QUOTE="Broz, post: 604095, member: 7503"] Well, you have some very fast tubes too. I know you get better velocity than I can form mine. Those higher velocities really make the lighter bullets look good as far as drops and drift on a computer program. But I can't seem to get my rifles to those velocities. One thing I know you already know, but needs to be mentioned is the fact that those lighter faster muzzle velocity bullets are always caught by the heavier bullets that start slower, and always finish faster. It's just a matter of when, but it always happens as a lighter bullet slows at a much faster rate. Also at long range there is no way the 260 gr can deliver the ft lbs of energy a 300 can, especially when it slows to below the speed the 300 will arrive at. Wonder why CE does not post the actual numbers on their website? They state " Real World BC of .700 " for the .252's. And that is from a 3100 MV and actual drops out to 1500 yards I think?? I didnt see a 260? Did I miss it? You have to agree that .700 or even .760 will not buck wind like the .820 BC of the Berger OTM. Don, I wish you would try one of those JP brakes, they are amazing and if for some reason you didn't like it I woud buy it from you. Jeff [/QUOTE]
