[QUOTE="Carsyn.22, post: 1768389, member: 104613"] There's some good laughs here! Oki mentioned .243 varmint bullets.. I have a friend who is adamant that his handloads send a NBT 55 gr over 4200 fps from a factory tikka .243 (believable yes) he says zero at 200 hold on fur out past 600 drops our big Canadian whitetails dead in their tracks everytime, only drops 4-6 inches basically no wind drift because of the speed... (he don't even have a rangefinder, chrono or nothing, a guy he met at WS gave him load info and he loaded it). I have tried to talk him out of it to no avail... heard the other day at work that the .264 win mag is a decent cartridge but if you really want a flatshooting gun get a 6.5 creedmore... only drops an inch at 500 yards he said....... one guy boasted to me of shooting a monster buck offhand at 500 with his 30-06, said he shot it in the neck as if that was where he had aimed... I thought that means he's about 2-3 feet off target didn't say anything though... my brother and laughed afterward, we've not shot much for distance but we know better that to believe such stories.
