![]() ![]() One thing in my mind is that the tryjectory is so poor on the VLD high BC bullets that the problem isn't the wind, but the catapult trajectory of the bullet. So we need to listen to all thoughts and applications people have. I don't want to shoot at a chuck with a 180 gr bullet to gain wind bucking ability, only to have that chuck stand up and look around because the bullet acted like a FMJ.īut there is a point where if you are shooting at a big elk at 7.8, 900 yrds it may apply. Most of my shooting is under 500 yrds and I like the fast flat trajectory with explosive bullets.īut there is something to be said for long distace Elk, deer and that size of game with the heavyer bullets so we need to listen to all opinions. If any one has watched my chuck hunting videos or DVD's, they can see I like the wow factor. After 500 yards, High BC will take over.at a price.crawlers. Something no one ever talks about, 400 fps makes up for a lot of BC, 500 yards and under. Many of the VLD's just don't expand, chucks crawl off after being shot, p.dogs will just fall over.bores me to death! That was so much fun, I built a 6.5 Rem Mag improved and was fire forming the cases with 85g Sierra's at 3900 fps out of a 29" Max Heavy Varmint barrel.Īs you slow down the speed, you get much less splat factor, might as well as stay home. As you will see, the 75g Sierra has a lousy BC. dogs at 700 yards one day with a 244 AI shooting the 75g Sierra's at 3900 out of a 244 AI with a 29" Barrel, we must have shot over the heads of 300 p. For instance the 70g Ballisitic tip at 4150 fps out of a 244 AI or a 80g Sierra Blitz BT at 3800 out of a 244 AI, a little less with the 243 AI's, and the 75g V Max at 3800 fps + out of a 243AI. I would prefer to shoot a bullet with a somewhat less BC, Very fast and get the fun factor. I shot some of the very first Berger 105's that were ever made, but they were dismal on chucks, 80g Berger's are so, so. It was rare that we had to ever shoot further than 550 yards, I expect that it is still the same today. There were places in Utah I used to kill 300 chucks a day in the late 70's. Chuck hunter, you will have to find out for yourself that most of the bullets with a high BC don't blow up chucks worth a darn.that's the next problem. ![]()
