HUH?? the smallest blade of grass can deflect any bullet.

Oh yes I do realize that, but as you know a heavier bullet would probably be harder to deflect. I must add that over the years I was capable of hitting a ground hog at distances greater than 300 yards with the 22-250 that I have. I realized that with 52 GR. BTHP bullets there were ceratin limitations with wind drift and always the chance of bullet deflection. I really don't try to blast through trees or anything of the sort, but sometimes at a distance in the woods there are small limbs that are not visble to the eye at the time of the shot. I really don't want to turn this into a discussion about bullet deflection, thats another thread for another day.
As far as the great info that you guys have provided it is of great help. That kind of gives me an idea which direction to go. Naturally I will review all of the info in all the manuals I have and start with a charge thats below the max, on the conservative side. Keep the info coming for sure.
Thanks again guys.....
