[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 52000, member: 34"] Flat shooting is the longrange hunters bullet of choice. The higher the BC the flatter shooting the bullet will perform. The more velocity that's retained, the more energy that is retained. It just so happens the 7mms heavier bullets like 168 and 180 gr , 30 cals heavy bullets like the 220 and 240 gr and the 338 300 gr and the 408 419 gr are the highest BC bullets that are available for the longrangehunter. You could also add the 50 cal as a high BC bullet and a longrange hunting bullet also. That's why most LR hunters choose them. No other caliber or bullet will do what these will do at extreme range. My calibers of choice are----6.5/284, 6.5 Gibbs, 6.5/300 Weatherby, 7/300 Weatherby, 308 DC Super ImP, 300 Tomahawk, 338/416 RIgby IMP DC [ 06-13-2002: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
