[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 4957, member: 34"] Jay Most ballistics tables, or I should say loading books, you can throw out the window. They are based on short barrel test rifles that will NEVER duplicate the actual ballistics we get from our over sized wildcat cartridges and the velocity we need and get, to do the job. You will probably not find our cartridges in a loading book either. Even the boys at Sierra don't use what we have been using for many years now. We can make humane kills a lot further then just 1000 yards. 1000 Yards is sometimes just the starting point for our guns. Talk to Rich Marcholtz at Sierra and he will enlighten you as to what we do. I report to him every year as the the kills we make with the Sierra MK. Loading books are based on 26" (or shorter) factory guns and the loads are many times not near max, we have found. Our rifles have 30" to 40" barrels and the length does make a "BIG" difference. Hope that helped [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] DC [ 03-17-2003: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
