[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2953265, member: 106845"] I’ll try to get them cut apart tonight if I can. It’ll deoend on how much time I have. We’re traveling for Thanksgiving and I’m not sure if we’re leaving tonight or tomorrow lol. It shouldn’t take too long to do but my wife might have other plans for my time lol. In the meantime, here’s a couple ballistic charts to compare them. I used 2600fps for the 77gr and 2700fps for the 69gr. Those are typical 223 speeds, but obviously those could vary. The intent here is just to compare velocities at given distances and the energy they have to work with at a given distance. [ATTACH type="full"]513138[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]513139[/ATTACH] Both will still expand pretty well to at least 1600fps but with adequate resistance upon impact, they’ll still do well down to even 1400fps. At those low velocities though, you’re relying mostly on blood loss and you’ll see the animal typically run further before collapsing. [/QUOTE]
