[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 25416, member: 34"] SS See that huge Hollow point on those Starke bullets? They will drop like a ton of bricks at longrange, if that's what you plan on doing with them. That's the trouble with the 25 cal Sierra HP 117 Gr. It drops like crazy and it's one of the few HP bullets in the Sierra line that does NOT perform as well as some of the lighter brands such as the 100 gr Ballistic tip. It (BT) will shoot MUCH flatter then that 117 gr Sierra Bullet. We tested this at 1100 yards one day and used the two bullets against each other using the SAME powder charge. That **** big HP dropped like a brick. You might be better off using the 155 gr Sierra Palma, the 168 Gr MK or the 175 gr MK in your 308. The 175 Gr in the 308 Winchester has (once in a while) done pretty good at Williamsport. If Starke bullets are all like that, they won't get a penny from DC. Later [/QUOTE]
