[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1110181, member: 85712"] Hey Roy come down to Nevada.... I'll take you out shooting.... we have vast amounts of open land down here. Solids or monolithic bullets are not as heavy as lead core bullets so they have to be longer for the same weight and thus harder to stabilize, as you know. I always look to see if the bullet has an efficient BC- what is the drag coefficient? As a general rule the average needs to be under .99 IMO. I know the published BC is just an average and the BC changes with velocity but it would be nice to figure out what your "exact average" for your load is. Meaning, if you push it faster or slower than usual it will be different than the published BC. I have the Horus Kestrel that only has a G1 BC but I went shooting my 300 at 1734 yds. and that thing is dead-nuts on. I know in therory I shoot a G7 profile bullet so a G7 BC program would be closer but so far I have had great luck with it. Good luck [/QUOTE]
