[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1028621, member: 10755"] I don't get the point of your post, but I think you're going along the lines of 'optimum bullet weight', this is the weight that outperforms all others in any one cartridge, it does not include all cartridges in one calibre, however. What is optimum in 300WM (200gr) is not optimum in 308W (150gr). This is generally easy to find with ballistic programs that have a MPBR (Maximum Point Blank Range) calculator, all you need is the bullet weight, velocity, BC and the intended target size in inches. The bullet weight in that cartridge and bullet style that gives the furthest MPBR is generally the optimum bullet weight for that cartridge and will carry that advantage to further distances other than the MPBR.
