Do you find much difference in down-range drop/velocity between the .308 Nosler 180 gr. Partition-spitzer and the protected-point bullets? Maybe there isn't much at say, 300 yards, but how about 400,500, 600? The rifle being used is a 700 Rem., .300RUM, with a 3x9x40 Leupold scope, with muzzle velocities starting around 3250fps.

TIA,

DUUuhhh ......

OK !!!!!

At 300, both bullets are very close in drop, and at 400, 500, 600 ... well, they are only a couple of inches apart on the avg.The big difference between these 2 bullets comes when the energy drops-off at 500 yds., with the spitzer retaining over 2000 FP. and the blunter-nosed bullet comes-in at 1800FP.

It's h*ll bein' old
