[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 780616, member: 48043"] Some rifles simply don't like certain bullet weights, period. My father has a ruger hawkeye 300 win that shoots 150 grain pills well, but by 180 is grouping pretty poorly. With the mountain rifle you have a rather thin and whippy tube. Any pill you can get under moa with should be seriously considered, even if it is a bit light for longer range. My longest kill at present is over 700 yards out with a 140 grain 7mm sierra flatbase; hardly a heavyweight but the shot came up with a good rifle in hand and the critter went down well. [/QUOTE]
