Yes indeed they do and I won't hesitate to use them, but enough to matter?

..................................400....500....600....700....800
VLD 308/168/.473/2,800.-29.5..-53.9..-87.7..-132.5.-190.4
VLD 284/168/.617/2,700.-30.0..-54.0..-86.4..-128.3.-181.1

At 600 yards there is only 1.3" of difference.
At 700 yards there is only 4.2" of difference.

Hey, I like ballisitc advantage and gacking as much as you do, but will a few inches or a few fps advantage make or break my hunt?

Not with turrets friend.


Question of the day for Tryme,

When using Berger bullets on game.
Is bullet weight going to matter?



Great post and it does put it all in perspective. I guess counting fairies on pinheads is an exercise for those long Alaskan winters. For me either the 7mm-08 or 308 Winny both work and both have their virtues. Hell buy both, shootem both and then use what you like best. Naw, that makes too much sense. Better to just argue about "How long is a piece of string"?
