[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 65440, member: 10"] Curly, Again this would depend on what twist you have in your barrel. Personally, for shooting out to 500 yards, I would probably opt for the lighter bullet as it will more then likely shoot flatter to this range and will also produce slightly less recoil. The difference will be small but it will be less. I like to set the 1/2 mile mark for my personal distance when I start going to the heavy for caliber bullets. If I were shooting under 500 yards I would use the lighter pills for their flatter trajectoy. If I would be shooting in the 600 to 900 yard range, either could be used if accurate in the rifle at those ranges. If I am going to be stretching things out well past 1000 yards I will go with a ULD bullet everytime in as heavy a weight as I can get that my barrel will accurately shoot. It all comes down to which bullet shoots the most consistant in your rifle. For 500 yard shooting, I would personally start with the 169.5 gr ULD from Wildcat Bullets and then go from there. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
