[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2224883, member: 12443"] At what point does a 300 gr bullet from your gun, overtake a lower b/c 250 gr bullet from your gun? I can tell you it will be about 1500 yds. How much energy is required to kill an Elk anyway? How many here including myself can claim a 1500 yd kill? When considering the increase in velocity, how much less energy would there be between the 2 bullets? Now i am talking about hunting, not extreme range target shooting. B/C #s on boxes to a very large degree is akin to the cover on a Playboy magazine. Both are intended to sell a product. Well were only talking about non dangerous animals when we talk about long range. Nobody with a guide license or a brain would ever consent to a long range shot on a dangerous animal. Stop by our camp and see the Moose, Grizzley, and Dall ram each killed with one round from an 06 with a 180 gr round nose Hornady bullet in 1952. Long before even the bullet makers knew much about B/C. [/QUOTE]
