[QUOTE="375rifleman, post: 1433405, member: 80454"] I'm very impressed that people can shoot to 1000+ yds with either blackpowder or smokeless 45-70's,45-90's, and 45-110's. I was inquiring as to whether or not heavy subsonic cartridges such as an 50 Alaskan with Hornaday A-max's, Barnes Solids, or Lehigh Defense Controlled Fracturing Subsonic Bullets could be set up to hit targets at extended ranges like the big 45's? I was just thinking that the big 45's weren't going much faster than 1100fps (that most subsonic cartridges have) maybe 500fps faster to 1600fps (just guessing here) but any of the above mentioned bullets have a much better Ballistic Coefficients (Hornaday A-Max ~1.07, Barnes Solids ~1.09, Lehigh Defense Controlled Fracturing Subsonic ~ .888) than the lead bullets could ever hope to achieve. Plus the fact that at least with the subsonic 50 Alaskan holds 1000ftlbs of energy and a Taylor Index of over 40 out to 1500+yds. Does anyone have any thoughts, opinions, or answers regarding this? 375rifleman [/QUOTE]
