[QUOTE="sitkastw, post: 2333622, member: 117348"] I am familiar with .284 bullets and terminal performance. I wouldn’t want to hit any animal with a tipped bullet under 1800fps with 2000fps being my personal cut off. A berger style open tip hunting bullet (with a clean tip) I use 1600-1700fps for a perfect presented shot. In the .284 hunting bullets world those velocities will net over 1000 ft lbs. I am very curious what bullet you are talking about. It would have a G1 north of .975 if it was in the 220 grain weight range (just my estimations with a ballistic calc). I am unaware of any bullet in .284 with those types of numbers. If it was a 180 class it would be over 1.0 G1 in a hunting bullet. I would start a new gun build today for that. [/QUOTE]
