[QUOTE="RHC, post: 1003965, member: 79604"] About a 150 fps difference. That 210 is floating right at african game bullet velocity speed, the 185 on the other has just started entering it. The 210 will do less cape damage and have more stopping/dropping power than the 185. Plus at longer ranges will buck the wind better etc etc. When I had a .300 WSM, I started out with the 180s but was finding it to blood shot meat too much. Once I jumped up into the 200 gr- 220 gr class, I had virtually no blood shot meat and more power just by slowing things down a notch and going heavier in bullet weight. That's my suggestion is to go heavier. YMMV [/QUOTE]
