[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1970277, member: 67552"] I have both and like them both. I shoot in a-lot of wind in western MN. I monitor predation on Walleye and Musky brood ponds. I have one pond that has a particular resting spot for these predators. There is only one spot I can shoot from to cover this spot and it is 330 to 340 yards with the width of the roost. It is generally a cross wind and can be pretty nasty 15 to 30MPH. I have a Weatherby Predator Master .243 with a 10 twist shooting 70 Grain Ballistic Tips set up for this spot. I watch all my hits and the whole rig sits at a touch under 9 pounds. The perfect blend of velocity and BC for that 250 to 350 yard window and with the B-Tips any type hit is pretty debilitating. My 250s have been more or less retired for everything but P-dogs. My short ponds are covered with the .223 with 50 Grain B-Tips and my real long stuff (400 to 600) I run a .260 with 130 Bergers. My targets are the size of a loaf of Wonder bread stood on end. [/QUOTE]
