Might settle some disputes. All are 150 grain, and zeroed at 200 yds. Some are so close its silly. I'd say the 30 TC thru the 300RCM aredoing pretty much the same

How about aligning the catagories vertically? It would make for a LOT easier reading for people (like me) with old eyes.

I cant get it to copy correctly. I was a spreadsheet but this thing wont allow it to upload correctly. Anyone who knows how to do it, I'll gladly send it in exel format.

Way to much splitting hairs for me. I'll just stick to my .30-06 and pick up economicaly priced ammo in any cityor town in north america, and call it a day.

Music to my ears. Rule of thumb is to never hunt with a caliber you cant find ammo for in a mom and pop store at 5:00AM (just in case)

20 years ago all I did was read balistics, now days I look at the price of ammo and what you can find where and when.
I will take all the standard calibers over anything.
.223, .243, 308, .270, 30-06 maybe a 7 mag or 300 win mag.

[stalkingbear]

I definitely hunt with rifle you can't easily find ammo for,.284 win. Thank god I'm a reloader.
