[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 326093, member: 11717"] The 168 the OP is reffering to is a 7MM. The one you and Walt are talking about is a 30 cal. Walt uses the phrase "most popular". In the non-LR world, the 165/168's are the most popular 30 cal bullet sizes. If I am shooting a highly frangible bullet it will be the heaviest I can in the cal to slow it down and put more mass on target, especially in the event you hit heavy bone. And with these bullets, the heavier ones have the better BC's which is good for LR. Interesting discussion. The Bergers have a very small pointy HP/Meplat, which it seems may sometimes lead to a failed expansion. There have been some other reports of that as well. GS will not use a that small of a HP/Meplat for this very reason. [/QUOTE]
