[QUOTE="Karl in Phoenix, post: 11788, member: 1973"] [b]Re: Long shots for \'lopes with 30.6, what bullets?[/b] I have had a Ruger M-77 in .308 and found the Nosler 165 B-Tip worked great in it. The BC is high enough for great retained energy and wind resistance, while keeping the velocity high enough for reasonably flat trajectory. The terminal ballistics of the 165 B-Tip are quite good; any animal I have shot was either DRT (dead right there) or anchored (stopped in place). The bullet expands well at longer ranges and tracks very straight as it penetrates critters. My Ruger would put the 165 B-Tip into 0.30" clusters (5-shot groups) at 100 yards from the bench. In field situations from prone, unsupported, I have shot 400 yard groups onto 3"x5" cards without a problem. Best of luck, [/QUOTE]
