[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1309934, member: 26535"] I could not agree more. This may not be popular with some but this is a long range forum so I will say it. BC rules in wind. I see zero point in buying/building a rifle chambered in 300 win just to shoot 180s. If you want to shoot 180s buy/build a 7mm. The 7 will outperform the 300 with the same weight bullets in both energy at target and drift with less powder and recoil. The 180 Berger Elite Hunter .30 may be a little flatter. The 215 is amazing in the 300 but not in a Tikka. The 180s will not be optimal in the 7mm Tikka's either. Tikka's are awesome factory rifles as long as the cartridge can be be kept under 3.4" without sacrificing powder space. I guess it is good to have many options for differing opinions. [/QUOTE]
