[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 859024, member: 7999"] Hey Mark, I just ran #s on the 230 berger vs the 177 GS. I guessed that you would run the Berger @ 2900 fps??? and the GS @ 3500 fps. Just got done running it in a 30" a couple of days ago to 3600 fps with H1000. But at the two velocities that I used the Berger does not catch the GS in drop or the most important windage all the way to 2000 yards. The Berger Has 2 more ft lbs of energy at 1300 yards. At 1500 yards the GS is still traveling at 1593 fps the Berger is at 1406 fps. I am not sure where the clear advantage of the Berger comes in at long range. At 1500 yards the Berger has 1010.5 ft lbs of enrgy vs the GS @ 997.4 ft lbs. I think that may be further than either one need be shot at big game. Just my .02 Steve [/QUOTE]
