[QUOTE="huntinghuasna, post: 2845703, member: 109227"] As others have stated, if the Barnes 127g LRX is accurate and SD's are acceptable then your good to go. Trust your actual drops at distance vs. ballistic calculator. Tune your calculator to your actual drops. As for hating coppers, you obviously haven't used modern coppers. If you stay within stated impact velocities the copper will perform properly at any shot angle, this equals more shot opportunities. I love Barnes, really loving the McGuire Ballistics "Copper Rose" and to date have killed most with Hammers 124g HH (6.5 CM). My pet load: Rifle: Weatherby 6.5 CM Outfitter, 22" barrel w/1:8 twist Bullet: 124g Hammer Hunter Brass: Norma Primer: WLR Powder: 38.7g VARGET OAL: 2.994" Velocity: 2,868 fps. SD's @ ~ 8 fps. Accuracy: True, honest 3/4" moa at 100 yards all day long. This has held true out to 600 yards when conditions are good. Haven't shot this rifle extensively beyond 600. [/QUOTE]
