[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1050664, member: 55230"] Yeah, i get it, but can you tell me where and how 50fps (if you get that much difference) effects much of anything? All I see is 60ft/lb more energy at 650... and both 180gr accubonds fall below 1500ft/lb at 700yds at 3050 and 3100fps. At 3000fps (22" barrel) you fall to 1455 f/lb @ 650yds. If 180gr is too light then w/ the 215 at 2900fps is only a difference of 64 ft/lb @ 950. To say you are losing A LOT of performance in that 2" is a stretch, you'd be way better off with two inches somewhere else :D I'd take the handiness and stiffness over that 50fps in a hunting rig any day. Even more so in a rifle I plan on doing a lot of hiking and walking with. [/QUOTE]
