[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2452244, member: 54383"] Here is my drop chart today. Sea level and pretty cold dense air but that effects all bullets. Keep in mind I try to be fair when comparing them. I could push both bullets a bit harder but I do the standard for me find pressure usually sticky bolt for my rifle. Then back off 1gr and shoot around that. Then go with the most accurate. I can get more speed out of the eld for sure but accuracy faded a bit and that’s most important. The hammers for me shot best in the higher end of the ladder. But keep in mind I’m just pointing out the fact some people get to focused on bc. For these smaller caliber it’s not as important. Let’s say even if the eld beats it by 100 yards. So 700 instead of 600. Then it come down to if that person a can constantly hit vital size and b if most common shots are farther or close. For me the atip load I’m working on shows promise to get me a bit farther out but I personally don’t feel as good shooting a thick skinned game at close range. Again this is me. I’ve take game from close to far with hammers. And all kinds of game like oryx,audad, and pigs with thick skin. I can say my experience the hammers just did better than the eld. That’s not knocking the eld cause that’s my second choice and I’ve done a lot with that also. Well maybe cutting edge would be second. Just don’t have the same amount of game down with those as the other to to make a fair comparison. [/QUOTE]
