[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 285296, member: 2736"] I ran the numbers and this is what I came up with= These are "listed" max loads and velocities . 3006 Springfield. !65 gr accubond @ 3000 ft/sec. 500 yards= bullet path with 100 yrd zero= - 45.7" and 1602 ft/lbs of energy. 600 yards= " " " " " " = - 74.4" " 1367 ft/lbs " . 700 yards= " " " " " " = - 112.5" " 1161 ft/lbs " . 1000 yrds= " " " " " " = - 301.2." " 701 ft/lbs " . 180 gr accubond @ 2700 ft/sec. 500 yrds = Bullet path with 100 yrd zero = - 57.5" and 1429 ft/lbs of energy. 600 yrds = " " " " " " = - 93.0" " 1223 ft/lbs " " . 700 yrds = " " " " " " = - 140.0" " 1044 ft/lbs " " . 1000 yrds= " " " " " " = - 370.6" " 651 ft/lbs " " . So as you can see even at 1000 yards the 165 gr appears to be superior in trajectory and energy. And 700 yards appears to be about maximum range for ether bullet when hunting deer size game. There are bullets with better ballistic coefficients but these are hunting bullets and are the same (Accubonds) for better comparisons. I had though about switching to the 180 gr accubonds from the 160 gr ballistic tips but I will stay the 165s. Just some info to help. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
