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.
There were places in Utah I used to kill 300 chucks a day in the late 70's. It was rare that we had to ever shoot further than 550 yards, I expect that it is still the same today.
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.
I would prefer to shoot a bullet with a somewhat less BC, Very fast and get the fun factor. 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.
We stomped p. 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. dogs to do that, but it was fun. As you will see, the 75g Sierra has a lousy BC.
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.
As you slow down the speed, you get much less splat factor, might as well as stay home. 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!
Something no one ever talks about, 400 fps makes up for a lot of BC, 500 yards and under. After 500 yards, High BC will take over...at a price....crawlers....
