[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 25420, member: 34"] Brent The HP on those bullets will create MORE drag because of that large opening. A small HP opening is ideal for less drag but when going that large, a reverse effect occurs. I saw what happens with the large HP opening when testing that 117 Gr 25 Cal Sierra HP bullet. It died on the way to the target compaired to a "TIGHT (small Hole) HP" bullet. SS Even at 500 or 600 yards (for hunting) I would go with the 155 Palma or 168 Gr MK. I honestly believe they will be more accurate and there will be less drop observed. They (Sierra) both shoot well in my 308 "10 twist" barrel. Later [/QUOTE]
