how does the .452 300 Speer get to .232 while the .452 300 Hornady only .18? Are the nose profiles that different?
It really is in the nose of the bullet - 1) it's shape and the other 2) is the HP on the Speer is very shallow and somewhat areodynamic. and another advantage I keep repeating is the lead is bonded to the copper... no leaving the copper behind just under the skin...
I'm thinking the 300's might reduce the effects of wind out thar. Your thoughts?
I am pulling this of the top of my head because I am on the wrong computer - I can not run the numbers here. But, i am really thinking it might be somewhat a wash.... the velocity of the 200 may overide the effects of the cross winds about the same as the slower but heavier 300 grain bullet.
I really believe it would be easier to shoot the 300 grain Gold dot out to 200 than it is the 250 grain... but - I prefer to hunt deer with the 250 so I make do - but, i can not imagine shooting a deer @ 200 with a ML -it would have to be an out of this world trophy buck for me to even consider it....
