[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 593460, member: 505"] Most all my hunting is done inside a half mile and I shoot the 190 bergers out of 300 RUM's often. My rifles are light hunting rifles and no need getting rocked with the heavier bullets when the 190's shoot flatter with very little difference in wind drift. I use lighter bullets in many of my rifles for lighter recoil and flatter trajectory. There is a balance between how fast you can drive a lighter bullet compared to a slower higher bc bullet. At some point downrange the heavier high bc bullet is going to win. However that range may be further than you plan on shooting. So the key is not to have a rifle equipped to shoot a mile when 99.9% of your shots are at a half mile and closer. In a light hunting rifle this makes quite a big difference in recoil and being able to get on an animal quickly with a flatter trajectory. I just got off the range shooting two 300 RUM's with 180 grain cutting edge bullets at near 3500 fps. The bc is around .6 at that velocity. No need me shooting 210 bergers at a much slower velocity and higher recoil when these are 1000 yard rifles. Inside that distance the 180 wins. Also at the range I had a 338-378 wby shooting 225 grain .64 bc cutting edge bullets at 3480 fps. This bullet is a far better choice inside 1200 yards than the 300 grainers. Recoil is far less in a light hunting rifle and it shoots so much flatter it enables me to do so much more with it. Windage is virtually identical to 1200 yards compared to the 300 grainers. just some food for thought. By the way welcome to the site. [/QUOTE]
