[QUOTE="kc0pph, post: 638626, member: 35934"] 168 vs. 180 berger bullets? I have been playing with Load From a Disk with a 7x300 Wby Mag. I have 1 box of 168 and 1 box of 180gn. I will be using H-870 powder (Over 100FPS gain over other powders). The picture attached shows bullet drop of Load From a Disk's MAX loads for the caliber. It goes out to 2000 Yards. The 168 shoots flatter even out to those distances. The Energy is pretty much the same. So those of you shooting the 180's why are you shooting them? What Am i Missing? The ability to buck the wind should also stay consistent with Bullet drop as that is Velocity and BC. It shows 54 MOA drop of the 168 at 2000 yards vs 57 MOA drop at 2000 Yards, so they seem identical. But do you want to spend the extra powder in the 168's to get a slightly flatter shooting bullet?
