[QUOTE="Tony 0321, post: 282618, member: 16800"] Nobody had any 180 grain barns for me to try out so I went with the 168ttsx and pushed it with 97 grains of h1000 and fed 215 primers and got less than .5 inch groups at 100 yds 5 shot group, 3330fps and a coal of 3.760in I have shot these out to 700 yds and had good luck with them keeping about .75MOA at that distance but it was a little breezy and I didnt have a very good rest so I need to do it again... Barns have a very low BC and dont work to well at longer ranges max effective range with the bullet still performing is 700yds in my rifle.. If you can get the swift sciroccos to shoot out of your rifle I would go with the 180's for that I had great luck with accuracy and theh have a higher BC and I took a lot of game last year and was very impressed with how well they worked I killed a 150 lb caribou and up to a 1500 lb moose with them and nothing went farther than 20yds but I cant get them to group out of my RUM (****) [/QUOTE]
