[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 67512, member: 10"] Moosehunter, I am not sure why your load is droppign that much compared to the 240 gr Sierra. Was this from actual impact heigth measurements taken in the field? I would be curious to see your midrange tajectory figures comparing both bullets. I would suspect that the Wildcats are landing much lower at midrange resulting in your lower 1000 yard impacts. That said, Even if they are producing this kind of B.C. value, why in the hell would you not use them if they are cutting 25% off your group averages? In my way of thinking it would be obsurd to use a bullet simply because of a slightly higher B.C. especially when they did not shoot as well as the Wildcat Bullets. I do not understand what more you need in the bullet. I think we get way to caught up in B.C. and forget to look at the actual groups we are getting on paper and pick the best bullet that way. Personally I would give up .2 in B.C. for 25% smaller groups, bullet drop is easy to figure!! GOod Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
