[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2674215, member: 116563"] What about I think it would be a cool comparison, simply because of the huge differences in weight and muzzle velocity. It would show people what light and fast truly is capable of compared to heavy and slower. Like a test at 500 yards. And then a test at 1000 yards. Do the results stay the same? That'd be awesome to see first hand. We definitely know that light and fast is violent and very deadly with a high impact velocity. But if everything is based solely off impact velocity, that point alone is voided at about 500 yardish depending on the caliber and bullet. So it would just be cool to take them beyond that, where the impact velocity is now potentially much slower (due to BC) than the competitor and show that is still holds its own! Hammers are badass killing machines. No question. But are they 1000 yard killing machines of any given caliber? I just like the 1000 yard benchmark since it's a long range hunting forum. And frankly anything 600 and closer is pretty easy to kill consistently with any bullet. 1000 yard steps it up a notch for sure and you need a lot of forgiveness in the load and the bullet on your side.
