[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 356742, member: 13285"] I shot the Hornady 250gn BTHP Match bullet this morning at 2285 yards. (as per my other post). The Hornady performed very much better than the Sierra 300gn SMK. The impact zone was much smaller than that of the SMK bullet and quite predictable. There were no bullets that landed way low like occured with the 300gn SMK. The results from shooting at this distance seem to indicate to me that a shorter bullet, fired at a higher velocity with a bit higher RPM, is better able to survive the trip through the transonic barrier.
