Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 7mm Rem, Magnum 175gr Core-Lokt for deer

Hmm,
I ran the number on a balistics caculator. 139 inter bond BC .486 with a MV of 3200. Wind drift at 500 yards with a 10 mph wind about 15"

175gr Sp at a mv of 2900 and BC of .462 Wind drift at 500 yards with a 10 mph wind is about 19"

Looks like speed still wins. Less time in the air.
More time it takes to get there the more time the wind can move it. Looks like a good 140 in the 7mm is going to be hard to beat.
