[QUOTE="ubettcha13, post: 466836, member: 26406"] 300 mags are better with the heaviest bullets. 165's are great in a 308 but in the 300 win mag the 180-210's are so much better in the wind. The rifle most likely has a 10 twist so you can stabilize the 210 vlds. The BC of most 165-168 is in the .475 The avg 180 btsp bullet is .507. The Berger 185 is .549. The 190 is .570 and the 210 is .616 Want to use the accubond the the 200 grainer has a bc of .588 vs. thesame .475 of the 165 The A-max208 has a bc of .648 while the 168 has the same .475 and the 178 is .496. IMHO using the 165-168s in a 300 mag is like filling up an F-1 ferrari at the local Xtra-mart with the cheapest fuel you can find. Will it work yes, will it work to it's potential hardly. If your loading it down for reduced recoil for a wife or girlfriend use the light bullets but to put the smack down at distance use as big a bullet as it will shoot well. [/QUOTE]
