[QUOTE="surgeon260, post: 1451903, member: 103874"] Broz tested the Berger 155s over on longrangeonly, and he was getting something like 2750 out of a 24" barrel with a 6.5CM (MAX load). His COAL was pretty long, so the OP's 22" Cooper might be more in the 2700 range. I think that leaves you plenty of velocity for reliable expansion at 400 yards. That being said, I agree with trebark - inside 400 yards, impact velocity will be optimized by pushing a midweight bullet (120-130 grains) as fast as possible. Personally I would use the 123 ELD or the 130 Scirocco for that range. [/QUOTE]
