[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 177139, member: 10"] This could be very deceptive. Let me explain. You can take a 125 gr 30 cal ballistic tip and load it to 4000 fps and you will get 950 yards in a second of bullet flight. It also has 140" of drop from a 100 yard zero and 55" of wind drift with a 10 mph cross wind. In comparision, take the 7mm AM, load the 200 gr ULD RBBT(.9BC) to 3250 fps and you will only get 930 yards with 1 second of bullet flight. Still, you have the same amount of drop as the hyper velocity round but wind drift is only 25", less then half the hyper velocity example. So while it would be a hell of a long range shot for the 125 gr BT 30 cal at 950 yards, 930 yards with the 7mm AM is not much of a trick in any way...... There are always flies to mess up the dinner I suppose!! LOL Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
