[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2042792, member: 103947"] Probably have to give that distinction to the .284 caliber in either the .280AI or .284 of some design. Both capable of pushing a 180 at 3000 fps with excellent accuracy. Puts the 180 ELD in the running given its high BC number of .797. Not sure I read if the OP stated what type of LR shooting but the ELD kills very well. Not alot of positive words on its competitive use as I've heard complaints of bullet failure. I personally haven't had that experience but I don't shoot competitively. If I lose a bullet on paper, I replace it with another. No harm no foul. I know in the last 9+ years since this thread started, a lot more excellent target and hunting bullets have arrived. Makes a lot of .473 cartridges an excellent LR option. [/QUOTE]
