[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 633958, member: 24624"] You didn't say what you're hunting and at what distances. Unless you just need point-blank shooting with no compensation, I'd stay away from the light bullets and go with 160 or above. There's probably insignificant benefit to the 180's vs 168's due to the reduced velocity of the heavy bullets in your cartridge. So, the 160'ish range should be about right. Many here like the 168 Bergers because they tend to expand better at long range impact velocities than other bullets. But, there's also a strong following for the 160 AB. My opinion is that Berger will do better at longer ranges with soft tissue and AB will have an edge if you hit bone. Ultimiately, you have to hit your target with confidence. So, pick one and see how your rifle likes it. -- richard [/QUOTE]
