[QUOTE="jweigel, post: 1015389, member: 72021"] Is there really much to gain with the 180 Berger VLD over the 168??? These are factory loads but I will assume relative in their load potential when compared to each other. HSM 168 VLD muzzle velocity of 3205 versus HSM 180 VLD muzzle velocity of 3080 Stats provided by HSM. Bullet, Muz, 200, 500, 700, 1000 168 Energy, 3833, 3128, 2256, 1789, 1233 180 Energy, 3793, 3121, 2287, 1836, 1292 168 Elevation, -1.6, 0, -30.03, -77.94, -206.86 180 Elevation, -1.6, 0, -32.32, -83.37, -219.29 168 Windage, 0, .75, 5.57, 11.75, 26.6 180 Windage, 0, .79, 5.63, 11.75, 26.31 Maybe HSM loads there 168 hot and the 180 not, but energy seems about equal, 168 shoot flatter, and wind is about a draw. Just got a gun and will start shooting both to see when the gun likes better. Eventually will reload but for now, will try the factory HSM. They shoot really good in my 7RM Sendero. Thanks for any advice. jjw ND [/QUOTE]
