[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1767833, member: 110773"] My longest kill ever was a cow elk at 487 yards. .338WM, 225g AccuBond launched at about 2742fps. The 225g has a .550 B.C vs a 250g at .575 but with a 100fps higher M.V., giving it slightly flatter trajectory, about 3" at 500 yards. Wind drift is virtually identical at 500. This based on max velocity Nosler data. I went with the .225g bullet and have been very happy with the results on 3 elk kills. [/QUOTE]
