[QUOTE="Brent, post: 65846, member: 99"] Okay, I'll throw one more stick in the spokes here: The BC for the 300gr SMK in my tests does not agree with the number stated here... It was something in the order of .787 or there abouts at about 3000 fps. I'll see if I can find what I came up with in the tests using the 43. Along the lines of what Matt said, I think drops compared from the same rifle/scope combo is a much better way of comparing the two bullets. GG would do well to set down with his rig and determine what his click values truly run throughout the range of adjustment. The distance multiplies the error and in his case (1500-2000 yards), it could be very frustrating to find out that it is a slight turret miscalibration keeping the first shot predictability in various conditions elusive. I've got a 32" barreled 10 twist 338/378 Wby to compare the 300gr SMK and 350gr WC. Not too much longer and we should be able to get set up at 500 yards with the chronos for some testing. I hope the 350's group well enough to keep them directly over the chrono at 500 yards. Does Richard make any .510" bullets? [/QUOTE]
