flounder,

I agree 100% I find myself 'playing' around with other bullets and sabots, but when push comes to shove and I need to get serious, out comes the Bullshops.

The key, as you mentioned, is trajectory. I RARELY and I mean RARELY get a shot over 75 yards. So I worry very little about drop. People out west don't have that luxury.

I'll take a big and slow bullet over a fast and small one any day. (if that ain't a can of worms ain't nothin' )
