[QUOTE="Dan Conzo, post: 5782, member: 269"] Big Sky The 108 grain JLK VLD bullet only drops 242" @ 1022 yards from a 200 Yard Zero, traveling @ 3200 fps @ the muzzle. This BC of this bullet must be over .500. I shot these out of a 25/06--your 257 Wby should even be faster. however I haven't killed anything with this bullet. The 117 Sierra BT kills nice but traveling @ 3015 fps @ muzzle drops 322" @ 1022 yards from a 200 yard Zero. Both of these firings were at 75 degrees and 1700 feet elevation (approximate). Both bullets are very accurate. The JLK doesn't have much bearing surface and a short boattail (tricky to seat with proper neck tension) but very well made. I have never tried the 110 grain Fowler flat base bullets or the 115 grain Berger VLD bullets but people seem to like them. I wish Sierra would make a 25 caliber bullet about 125 grains, match grade with a .500 to .550 BC that would stabilize in a 10" twist. Hope this helps. ---Dan [/QUOTE]
