[QUOTE="trebark, post: 828290, member: 19172"] Thank you and yes, I think you will be able to push the heavy bullets just fine with your 26" barrel. Given your short barrel, I would make the 208Amax or the 215grain hybrid my bullets of first choice. The reason I did not change from the 208amax to the 215 or 230 bergers is because I ran the numbers on expected velocities. Although the 208 had a lower BC, by virtue of going much faster it actually shoots flatter and with equal wind drift out to ~1200 yards. 1200 is further than I would be willing to shoot at a critter. So going with the bergers did not necessarily make sense given that I had a well developed load with the Amax (91grains of Retumbo, lit by Fed215M) [/QUOTE]
