[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1927131, member: 96226"] LTH, I think we actually know each other. If you've ever seen either of these close up, we definitely know each other. [ATTACH type="full" width="358px"]199687[/ATTACH] Anyway, I have a box of 50 130gr Cutting Edge projos I won at the last Avenal match that I'll probably not use for a really long time that you're welcome to just have ($60 savings!). BC isn't spectacular at .450 G1 (which is the minimum for me to classify a projectile as suitable for long range) but for 130's that's actually pretty good. You can drive the living snot out of them; ~3300fps from a 7RM, and they'll definitely kill anything that bleeds and breathes in Kommiefornia. If nothing else you'll save the 60 bucks of cost for the privilege of trying out some CEB monometals or maybe trade them with another local for a box of 145's which have a .495 G1 which would be optimium as far as long range performance. You can make the CEB 155's touch 3000fps but that .045 BC difference is going to be ever so slightly surpassed by the 300+fps difference in MV in terms of drop. I am extremely doubtful that you'll be able to drive the CEB 185's to a high enough speed to make all the extra BC useful and they require a 7 twist pipe! Anything heavier from CEB than a 155 will need a non-standard twist. Doing some back of the napkin math, it looks to me like you'd have so much velocity penalty from the 185's that the 130's would do just as well as far as drop and remaining velocity with only a slight energy edge to the heavies. LMK if you want the projos. We can meet up at the next match or you can buy me lunch somewhere in Tracy. [/QUOTE]
