[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 426692, member: 4491"] i'm gonna throw my 3 cents in here because i have some experience shooting an edge that weighed 8.5 lbs at one time. it doesn't any more but it's one of several long stories that i don't have time for in regards to my gun. i choose to shoot the 225 gr bullets last year, number 1, because i could get them and number 2, i figured they would be easier to shoot accurately. and number 3,we were in grizzly bear country and since they shot as good as the MK's i went with the Barnes just in case we had an up close and personal. my gun is also very short, less than 36" and this also doesn't help with the "shootability" my point to all of this is i feel you can shoot a fairly light gun accurately. 1200 was the farthest i shot it and if i did my part, i could put 3 shots in 1 moa, most of the time better. i figure 1200 was my max with good conditions so i was only concerned with 1k shooting. if you want to shoot farther, there are a couple of bullet options now, both in the 250-260 gr range that imo would work better in a light gun than the 300 MK.
