[QUOTE="Yoshie, post: 491137, member: 32609"] I see! i didnt find any extended box magazines to fit the vanguard. I think i will just go with a single shot 300 ultra mag. I had planned on using the 210 bergers and 185 bergers. i had interresting results with the ballistic calculator with these two bullets: 26" barrel, best average velocities i could find, 200 yard zero, 1.5 sight height, same conditions -|- 10mph wind 210 berger @ 3025FPS, .631 BC: muzzle energy(ft/lb): 4267 1000 yard muzzle velocity(fps):1709 1000 yard come-up (moa): 22.4 1000 yard drift (moa): 5.54 1000 yard energy(ft/lb): 1362 185 berger @ 3314FPS, .549 BC: muzzle energy: 4511 1000 yard muzzle velocity(fps): 1743 1000 yard come-up (moa): 19.7 1000 yard drift (moa): 5.82 1000 yard energy(ft/lb):1248 are my average velocities screwed up? to me it seems like the 185 would be the best choice. granted i know that i might end up with an accuracy node slower for the 185 and faster for the 210... then that would change my thoughts.. but for a generalization, it seems like the two bullets are nearly the same except for the 185 shooting significantly flatter. now 1000+ yards is a different story, but i dont plan to shoot that far!
