Great resource on bullets
« on: May 29, 2016, 12:02:23 PM »
http://stevespages.com/jpg/bestbullet.jpg

I've been researching bullets, trying to select a load for my rifle this season. A lot of what's on the web is purely anecdotal and might not apply to the velocities out of your rifle or the game you'll be hunting. Today, I came across this chart that gives side by side comparisons of 30 caliber 180 grain bullets at a wide range of velocities.

I learned a lot by looking through it.

That is cool.  I realize your remark was probably made tongue in cheek, but that article data was republished in 1998 (data likely earlier). 

Good to see the Nosler partition hanging in there from 1900-3100 fps.
