[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 1355665, member: 66992"] In my opinion the 170gr SST fits the bill perfectly. Much better than the 200gr SMK. Why? 200gr are too heavy for the 8x57IS to get pushed with sufficient velocity when the coal is shooting at 1 k. While shooting the 170gr. SST gives you the opportunity of using the "miracle propellant", the Hogdon CFE 223. Nothing (!) is better and more suited for bullet weights between 160 - 170gr in a 8x57IS. With 160gr TSX Barnes you will reach 900 m/s or 2953 fps ... 170gr will be accelerated with ca. 2800 fps. Here we start talking LR. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
