[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 243653, member: 376"] How does that saying go... "Friends don't let friends shoot 168gr SMKs past 800yds..." Me personally I like the 155s... BCs up around that of the 168s, and you can push them faster - i.e. flatter trajectory, shorter TOF, less wind drift. 175s have a little higher BC, but you can't push them as fast. Gets to be a balancing act. Also... I'd skip the VLDs and go for the newer Berger BT 'thick' designs... more tolerant about seating depth, as in will shoot just fine 20-40 thou off the lands, rather than preferring to be jammed into the lands (always a little dicey w/ an auto-loader).
