[QUOTE="dchamp, post: 678124, member: 51652"] Here is my 2bits worth. I shoot a Rem 700 8X57 and am currently using 160gr Barnes TTSX at 2850fps MV with IMR3031. It shoots well and I have data out to 500yds but it should stay stabile out to 1000yds. My son used it in Africa earlier this summer on plains game from Steenbok to Zebra and Gemsbok and it was devastating. In the past I've used 180gr Nosler BT's & TSX's with Varget or RL-15 with good results and with 195-220gr bullets I've had good success with H-414. While heavier bullets with similar profiles generally have higher BC's, I think the 160gr Barnes is higher than most 180gr bullets available on the market today. Either way whether light or heavy, most bullets I've shot with my 8X57 will take various game out to 500yds (although thats pushing it in my opinion) and punch paper out to 1000yds. [/QUOTE]
