[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 635384, member: 1007"] 1: You are right. The 130 Scirroco is not in the .570 range. More like .5-.515. 2: The BT's being too low for what you want to do only leaves you with VLD, AMAX, SMK, SCENAR and similar. Every thing is a trade off. High BC with OK terminal performance or lower BC with designed terminal performance. That said, I have found the terminal performance of the AMAX's more than adequete for small to medium sized critters. Have you ran the numbers of the 140 SST at 3000-3100 FPS in the 6.5? Out to 700 yards, they look pretty good. I know their not as sexy as the VLD but are more than adequete. Nosler has come out with a 140 BT which will have a much higher BC than the previous 120 grain BTs. If I had to shoot a big mature mulie buck through the shoulder, I would rather have an SST, Ballistic Tip, ACCUBOND etc...Than a 140 VLD or AMAX. [/QUOTE]
