[QUOTE="liltank, post: 592460, member: 13275"] Good: .308 Winny I've thought about the 185's, the 175's in OTM, SMK, CC, and Berger VLD. I'm boiling it down to recoil control for sustained shooting w/o a break. I'm thinking that the 185's will require a close to max load to get good velocity. The 175's though 10grains lighter will still require a close to max load for good velocity. The 168's will give less recoil, and will be able to get away with a medium load and still be at a good velocity especially with the Hybrid. I'm assuming I can run the bullet right around 2650-2700 fps to get enough velocity to be accurate and balanced at 1000yds. The reason I am wanting the 168 is due to my barrel just loving the 168NBT's. However they don't do well past 850 with the load I am using as a hunting load. I can probably push them faster, but I figure I can use this load to shoot at 800yds and shorter. When I need to go farther, than that is when I can use the 168 Hybrid. Am I thinking straight, or am I putting to much thought in to this adventure? [/QUOTE]
