[QUOTE="Michael Souther, post: 1620974, member: 106428"] High velocity does not mean a better kill or flatter shooting. I have seen white rail shot with a 264 and the whole side blood shot . Energy and penetration. Quick kill. High BC is a major factor for lower drag and will have less drop even though slower and heavier bullets . Match twist to bullet weight to be used and intended use. If you plan to shoot bear, Elk etc 338 win mag. 300 win mag minimum . Get out the Berger loading manual or applied ballistic books. Like I have said 338 win mag drops them quick little damage to meat with proper loads. [/QUOTE]
