Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles I have the urge....

Hard to say what'll happen past 500y, 16B. Let us know what you find out.

I had some weird results with the 140 BTSP... it was a good 18" low at 800y vs JBM. At 500y, the 140 BTSP and NAB were dead-nutz with the same zero. Basically the same velocity and similar BC. I fiddled with the numbers (BC, velocity, etc.) but couldn't account for the extra drop with the BTSP.

At the time I was thinking that the BTSP was less stable and shedding more velocity beyond 500y. I just used those bullets for cheap target practice out to 500y and used the NAB for longer distances and hunting. After those BTSP were consumed I just stuck with the NAB for everything and didn't bother with the Hornys anymore.
