[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 589210, member: 8394"] For no other reason than launch speed, the 75 a max is hard to beat for cost per bc. It might be worth balancing launch speed and b.c. I dunno what the 223 can launch a 90g bullet at, but its gotta be slow. With a 200 yard zero, 1.5inch sight height I'd ballpark 2900 for the 75, and 2700 for the 90 as an approximate launch speed. Both will drop around 32 moa, but the berger will drift 2 moa less in a 10mph 90degree crosswind. That is assuming .435bc for a-max and .552 for berger. A-maxes are 16.99 per hundred at midway, the bergers are 31.99. Both should be able to cleanely harvest paper at that range. From the stated b.c. the smk's and nosler custom comps dont seem to have near the b.c. to bullet weight ratio as the a-max or berger. [/QUOTE]
