[QUOTE="Red Delicious, post: 1056398, member: 85735"] Okay here's what I've done to try and make sense of this. I took two bullets. Make wt BC SD Berger 140 0.612 0.287 Match grade VLD Hunting 6.5 Nosler 150 0.611 0.266 Accubond LR 7mm I then put them into my Chrony Ballistics III software each with a muzzle velocity of 3,000 fps, Altitude of 1,000ft Barometric Pressure of 28.47, temperature of 55F, and 78% humidity and zeroed at 100yds. Then I charted it out to 1,000 yds. Here are my results. bullet ---- distance ----- Velocity ----- Energy ----- path 6.5 ------- 200 ---------- 2702 -------- 2269 ------- -2.3 7 --------- 200 ---------- 2701 -------- 2430 ------- -2.3 6.5 ------- 400 ---------- 2422 -------- 1824 ------- -21.7 7 --------- 400 ---------- 2422 -------- 1953 ------- -21.7 6.5 ------- 600 ---------- 2160 -------- 1451 ------- -65.0 7 --------- 600 ---------- 2159 -------- 1552 ------- -65.1 6.5 ------ 800 ---------- 1914 --------- 1139 ------ -137.7 7 -------- 800 ---------- 1913 --------- 1218 ------ -137.8 6.5 ----- 1000 --------- 1688 ---------- 886 ------ -250.0 7 ------- 1000 --------- 1687 ---------- 947 ------ -250.3 I realize killing potential is more difficult then just velocity and energy but they along with bullet design and most importantly shot placement have to be major players in the equation. So I think I'm coming down on the side of "Fairchase" and "WBM". I've found a gun I'm comfortable shooting now I need to find a bullet designed for the job and will shoot well from my gun. Then get good at shooting it. Thanks for the help. Craig O. [/QUOTE]
