[QUOTE="grit, post: 619796, member: 4112"] A .25 cal 110 accubond at 3250 offers zero ballistic advantage over a 24cal 105 Berger at 3150. All you will accomplish is to wear barrels out even faster. What you need is a long range system. Get a scope you can dial or use a reticle on. Validate all your drops, calculate all your wind drift figures and learn how to apply them. Get some experience shooting long range. Apply the new drop and drift figures on rocks and such until you know your dope is accurate, your wind calls intuitive. Sounds like you are a hell of a shooter. I think learning to shoot long and equiping yourself with better gear is what you need. The caliber selection is secondary for your ranges and critters. You gotta have a range finder too. No guessing ranges past 300. The VX2's will not track (dial up and down) accurately. Look at a vx3, or bushnell elite. The leupold offers the varmint and big game reticles. My hardcore coyote customers like these reticles.The Vangaurd is fine. I allways advocate a rigid stock, bedded action and tuned trigger. For a real ballistic advantage, look at the 260, as suggested, with 130-140 Bergers or accubonds. You'll take a huge step down in velocity. But, the wind drift figures are tremendously better. Wind is the key to long range, not flat trajectory! Barrel life will improve dramatically too. I just noticed this is your first post. Welcome!! Lots of great info here. Luck to ya! [/QUOTE]
