[QUOTE="JMHNL, post: 2846311, member: 89971"] Hi, I just put together a 7PRC and want to get some input on which bullet to look at for axis deer. I have been shooting a 6.5PRC for a few years now and the 156 EOL has been a perfect bullet for the job. Basically a Hammer of Thor, high shoulder hold and they flatten. I want to stick with Bergers, and have been taking a hard look at the 168 VLD, the 175 Elite, the 180 hybrid and the 180 VLD. Certainly they would all work, but would the 180 class be too much? We shoot a lot between 300-600yds, and deal with wind as well. It kind of seems like there may be no discernable difference from what I can gather, but I appreciate your thoughts nonetheless. Please keep in mind light, thin skinned game, we are not talking about elk here. And before anyone asks, I couldn't resist the latest and greatest, that's why I built a 7!! Thanks in advance!
