[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2549908, member: 63925"] So if you compare a 130BT@3100fps (BC 0.433) at 600 yards to the 170BT@3000fps (BC 0.560) the differential is obvious. Using Hornady App, I took some screenshots: 130BT: [ATTACH type="full" alt="0C33F4BD-C766-491E-AB10-BE85E871C38C.jpeg"]371410[/ATTACH] The 170BT: [ATTACH type="full" alt="3A077A52-013F-4D5B-A88A-82F478FE8ADD.png"]371411[/ATTACH] The energy is almost 600lbs difference and even if you add more velocity to the 130, it really doesn't close the gap much. Which comes back to why I hunt with the 156HH @3200 fps. It has almost 1800 ftlbs at 600 yards. 156HH: [ATTACH type="full"]371413[/ATTACH] Fast twist .270Win wholly different cartridge when shooting heavies and is definitely a great elk cartridge with the heavies IMO.
