[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1509413, member: 78762"] It’s all velocity dependent. A bullet going 2600fps with a very high bc, say .650 can and will be outperformed by a bullet with a hypothetical .550 going 3300 FPS, in the same caliber/cartridge. A ballistic calculator helps with determinating a bullets performance with in your local atmosphere parameters. Most are going with a minimum velocity of 1800fps at impact for bullet performance and 1000-1500 ft lbs. [/QUOTE]
