I have an opportunity to shoot out to 700 yrds coming up. Have never had a range longer than 200. I have moulds for the Lyman 457125 round nose 500 gr. & the Lyman 457132 semi-pointed 535 gr.
They both seem to shoot well at the ranges I'm able to shoot, but was wondering when or where does the round nose start to "fade" whereas the pointed one keep shining? Or is it a moot question at a meer 700 yrds?
I would guess I should shoot them both, and probably will, if time permits. Just wondering what one might expect.
45-70, 70gr Goex FFG,20-1 alloy,SPG,.125 cardboard wad.
