[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1255806, member: 4566"] You could be right OR wrong depending on the hunting involved. At 600 it doesn't matter. At 1000 it could turn a good kill into a nightmare. A 7mm Berger 180 VLD at 3000 yields a 244" drop at 1000. At 2900 it yields a 264" drop. That's 20" inches! At 2980 its still 4" which will turn a heartshot into a brisket hit on a deer. Depends on the hunting you do and what you will accept as reasonable accuracy. I shoot for ES under 10 on everything I shoot and have found that weight sorting and other high end brass prep is essential to get there. 10 ES is still enough to screw you at 1500. With the 180 Berger at 3k a 10 FPS difference will move you 6" vertical at 1500. All depends on what your hunting style is and how far you shoot. I have been shooting ELR in the wind a long time and can read wind, ES and vertical stringing is harder to get on top of and account for. [/QUOTE]
