RE: flattest trajectory
Here is part of the write up about it .. Bill
My rifle was zeroed at 350 yards. With a muzzle velocity of 4,060 fps, my 100-grain, all-copper J-36 bullet (manufactured by Lost River Ballistic Technologies Inc.) with a ballistic coefficient of .532, registered as follows:
+ 1.89 inches at 100 yards
+ 3.15 inches at 200 yards
+ 1.78 inches at 300 yards
Dead-on at 350 yards
– 2.58 inches at 400 yards
– 10.27 inches at 500 yards.
Incredibly, the velocity at 500 yards is still in excess of 3,000 fps.
Energy in foot-pounds generated at the muzzle is 3,660, and at 500 yards, it still maintains 2,057 foot-pounds of energy – plenty enough for any whitetail!
