[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 649701, member: 42308"] According to my estimates, which may well be not absolutely accurate, in my rifle the 210g vld has equal or better velocity and wind drift out to some where between 700 and 750 yards plus or minus. After that the markedly better BC of the 230 takes over and asserts itself as a better choice. Here in my neck of the woods the longest range available is 600 yards so I've never been able to validate predicted point of aim vs point of actual impact. I have found the 230 to behave actually slightly better than predicted to that range at least. I got all googly eyed with the wonderful BC when the 230 tactical OTM came on the market shortly after I purchased my rifle and just HAD to have some of them, so i bought a few hundred. I'd love to have a chance to send some off out to 1k and further validate the load. In all seriousness at the ranges I allow myself to shoot at the 210 would be "better" I haven't even attempted any shot beyond 600 with it but would love to. My thoughts on switching to the 210 are rooted in the fact that I just don't even try anything beyond 600 as it is not validated and therefor IMO not ethical to "tryout"'on game.
