[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 647174, member: 23486"] How much do you intend to practice? This will also factor in, Barnes will work very well for this yardage (thinking 168TTSX) but they are more $$ compared to a "conventional" bullet. Look at what HSM, BOTW & others are offering for factory loads, if rolling with a Berger, run 190's or better & you'll be fine. Hornady's... probably the 208 A-Max (I can't speak for the other HNDYs)...the Barnes 175 LRX would be sweet....Swift Scirocco II...the new Cutting Edge Bullets look bad a*%..... I can ramble for a long time about this topic... the heavies won't have the initial velocity but will retain it for much longer than the light fellas & will eventually catch & pass them in the velocity dept.... not to mention the wind advantages... I shoot a cartridge similar to the 300WSM in capacity & size, I'm running the 7.82 Lazzeroni Patriot with the Barnes 168TTSX @ well over 3k fps w/RL-17. (pretty hot) A gent stated above that you were "wasting your time w/o reloading". Though it isn't entirely true, it isn't entirely untrue either. There are HUGE amount of different combinations you can try to "fine tune" to your bbl's harmonics & your particular shooting needs if you or someone you know (& trust) can reload. It's not impossible to find a hammer in a factory load, but it might (read probably will) take longer to find it. [/QUOTE]
