Title: Great resource on bullets
Post by: GBoyd 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.

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