[QUOTE="Holmes, post: 5761, member: 457"] I use the 117 SBT Sierra quite a bit and really like the performance of this bullet. My experience only relates to about 700 yards with regard to antelope/mule deer. Using Sierra's published BC, .410, for this bullet, I get 1683 fps and 735 fpe at 1K yards. This is using Point Blank, 5000' elevation, and 3400 fps at the muzzle. I run this bullet out of my 25/06 at a bit over 3100 fps and it has treated me well. I am using this bullet lately more than the 100 grain HPBT-MK now as the higher BC of the 117 resists the wind better at the longer ranges. This is a very real consideration in Wyoming [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] You might consider the Barnes 100 XLC as it has a high BC and is well constructed. I have heard good reports but I've never played well with Barnes bullets, thus, I have not tried this one yet. Sierra keeps me happy, keeps the freezer filled, and delivers for a workin' man's allowance. [/QUOTE]
