[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1690537, member: 109229"] For me, the choice depends upon what I’m hunting and what I think is going to shoot well. I like “flat” and I like “speed” so a lot of times, I’m biased toward lighter bullets. I hunt varmints and deer so for each rifle, I develop a load for each application. For a long time, the 130 Accubond was my go-to “ heavy” in my 6.5X47. That all changed quick when I got a box of 143 ELD-Xs! Cost is also a factor. Sometimes, if a heavier bullet shoots well and is cheap, I won’t bother developing a lighter bullet for varmints and just shoot the heavy. I’ve been getting Nosler Ballistic tips really cheap and they shoot great out of my .243 & 25-06, so I’ll Varmint with the 95 and 115 Grainers, respectively. [/QUOTE]
