[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 974709, member: 48420"] The two major advantages to heavy bullets at long range is a more predictable bullet path, and less environmental interference, i.e. wind. That is why the military snipers love the 50 cal for long range shots. I am going to 190's and 200's with my Lazzeroni Warbird because I assume the monstrous powder charge behind a 150 won't allow anything close to a normal bullet path. The best group I can get with the 150's is about 1.5, and it should shoot better than that.
