[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2171899, member: 61747"] [USER=118398]@Juergen[/USER], I assume you know all of this but reading wind is the limiting factor in almost every situation. Using a high bc and high velocity billet limits the wind drift and error, yes, but how much does a person train on wind reading? To me that’s the issue. Yes use a cartridge that reduces error, but if a person can’t tell the difference in 5 vs 15 mph or even 5 vs 10 then more practice would be better than a new cartridge. I run a 135a tip in my prc at 3100 fps. Compare that to my 156 at 2900 and there is a pro and a con to both. in the end I still prefer a 6.5 for what I do but also really enjoy 6mm. Run a 108 or 110 at 3300-3400 and it’s a wicked caliber. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
