[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 176834, member: 10"] That is very interesting to think of long range shooting in that way. By the way, with the new Aluminum tipped bullets, when they are ready, we can easily break 1000 yards with the 338 AM with 1 second of flight time. Even my huge 510 AM will only get 860 yards in that time with a 750 gr A-Max at 2900 fps. The standard BMG with that same bullet will be around 800 yards in a second. This is very dependant on bullet design however so you could take two loads in say a 7mm RUM, one with a 160 gr Accbond and one with a 200 gr ULD RBBT and they would be guite different but still be the same chambering. The 160 gr Accubond will be nearly identical to the 510 AM at 860 yards. The 200 gr ULD RBBT will be right around 900 yards. Looks as though, this really leans toward the hyper velocity rounds. Interesting way to look at things though. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
