[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2104497, member: 101791"] I will go along to a point. 30 to 40 years ago. I did some reading on velocities in different rifles. If they were at the same velocity the drop of the bullet is about the same if not right on. The heaver bullet will have more fpe than the lighter bullet. Wind drift is a factor too. The shape of the bullet play into it. That is why I stayed with rifles the could product about the same velocity. More of my rifles do hit the same velocity. Weather I am shooting a 25-06, 264 Wm, 7mm Rem M, 308 Norma M, or 338 W Mag. I really think that you should be looking Foot Pounds of Energy at those range to see if it's going to do the job.
