[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2441607, member: 116563"] Thanks for your input! I definitely like the speed and flatter trajectory of the lighter bullets, which are still pretty heavy for caliber, for hunting out to 1200. The higher BC's of the 245/250 don't even become relevant until like a mile out, besides and inch or 5 for wind. But, I do agree that it would be a much more stout bullet as far as actual killing would be concerned. I just would rather not give up that much velocity, that's my only reason honestly 👍 . I don't think I can shoot a rifle below 3100fps anymore for hunting haha. It feels like I'm throwing a rock lol. I also have 199 Hammers that I'm hoping to load around 3300-3350fps for a do all bullet. But I'd also like to have a true long range, 1200yd bullet setup as well. [/QUOTE]
