[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1210241, member: 8873"] Sorry but I disagree; I questioned this so I ran the numbers for what one of my rifles would be capable of doing. Without changing anything but the projectile (250 grain Hornady's, SP and match) the difference at 500 yards with a 10 mph wind is basically double the deflection. For a trophy hunt of a lifetime I would be thinking worse case and shoot a projectile that would offer me the best for margin of error. If my rifle shot the Bergers well I wouldn't hesitate using them, unfortunately mine doesn't care for them. I would try the new Hornady eld as well to see which shot better. Edit: That is of course unless you meant the small difference at that range between the 160 accubond and the 168 Berger, and I took your comment totally out of context. [/QUOTE]
