[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 46109, member: 10"] Big Bore1, I would agree with your numbers in general comparision but also let me respond. The 130 gr Bonded Core FBHP is a big game hunting bullet designed for taking deer out to 500 to 600 yards. I see you took things out to 1000 yards in this comparision. In that case I would select the 145 gr ULD Rebated Boattail that Wildcat Bullets designed specifically for the 257 Allen Magnum. This bullet has a B.C. of .738 from initial testing and I am conservatively predicting 3400 to 3450 fps out of a 30" barrel. So we really need to compare apples to apples instead of a big game flat based bullet to a ULD design like you are comparing. Energy, yes there is no comparision but again, these rounds are designed for deer hunting out to 600 yards in sporter weight rifles. With the ULD the 257 will easily run with the 7mm RUM with any bullet you load in it in a 30" barrel. Again, I fully agree that for extreme range hunting or even shooting the larger calibers are going to be hard to beat. At ranges inteh 600 yard range, my AMs will walk with any deer round on the planet if they live up to performance goals [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] ! For 1000 yard shooting, weither they are needed or not, a big 338 will always be my choice in caliber over all others. Again, just my opinion and I agree this forum does rock. There are enough like minded well educated guys here to really have a good quality discussion. We certainly do not have to agree on everything, thats the best part about this sport, there are different ways to skin a cat and they are all a blast [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] !! Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
