[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 614429, member: 21068"] IMO, for shooting out to 600 yds.......the short barrel coupled with the 9+ twist suggests that the 95 Bergers will serve you best at beyond 500 yds. I don't believe you'll get any benefit whatsoever from shooting 105's, because they are only marginally better BC than the 95's (especiall when talking 600 or less) and the short barrel probably wont allow you to get the 105's up to enough speed to beat the 95 out. I am assuming your gun would stabilize the 105's (my 9 twist does anyway, at 4100' elevation). On another note, if the majority of your shooting is at less than 400 yds and these are timed events, where you don't have much time to dial; perhaps the 85 to 90 grn class is your best compromise between speed and wind bucking ability.
