[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 2538839, member: 13632"] I live at 6000 ft, the wind blows, winds is everyone's nemesis so I cheat steel and borrow to get an edge on it. A 250 Berger at 2850 has 1.3 LESS moa of drift at 800 than a 200 gr AB at 3100 fps and the AB is below the impact velocity where they open reliably on elk while the 250 Berger is well inside it's operating range having put them on elk and deer in those ranges. I'm a huge Hammer fan, I usually have some Hammer loads worked up but even with the velocity gain with them you have to be a little mindful to keep them in their sweet spot. The only thing that is important is putting a bullet dead on the spot your aiming and have it open but shooting is mountain winds I'm more than happy to grab a BC advantage when my velocity advantage erodes!!
