[QUOTE="MSURunner, post: 3039541, member: 102961"] Garmin should show the SD on there. If not, pull the shot strings individual velocities and put them into a dozen plus different SD calculators online. I would also echo the proof in the pudding regarding which would shoot better at range. I know it sucks blowing through components, but you'll need a larger sample size to have good usable data at 600+ anyways. If I were trying to save the components usage and was torn between those two, I would probably load up a 3-5 shot group on both and shoot them at 300, then pick the winner and shoot it at 600 to confirm. Then you should have another 6-10 shots worth of velocity to start getting a better idea of SD for the winning load. That is still not a great sample size, but it's a helluva lot better than 3 and you'll have some data that you can use to help determine what the BC is for that bullet in your rifle. [/QUOTE]
