[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1783454, member: 104268"] [SIZE=14px][/SIZE] 24" Shilen select barrel, Sig brass (on the heavy side). Fed 210 match primers. 76-77 gr H1000 runs right around 2900 fps ± 30 fps. I've had 1 MOA or better accuracy out to 400 yds which, for my rifle and minimal load work up, is more than acceptable. In my experience, the B.C.s for all the NABs I've used are inflated substantially. I've calculated it several times for the 200 gr with LabRadar data from 100-200 yds (NABs track really well). I'm getting ~0.550 fairly consistently, which also seems to match up with observed drops. In my rifle, with the above speed and B.C., the 200 gr NAB has "comfortable" killing power at 600 yds, with ~2000 fps and ~1800 ftlbs. Because the NAB is a "tough" bullet, I want minimum impact velocities to be a little higher than I would for other "traditional" constructions, even if using on smaller critters that don't warrant 1800 ftlbs of energy.
