[QUOTE="mountaincarver, post: 1139445, member: 87809"] Thanks gentlemen for the reply. My 15 year old daughter made a 576 yard shot this year on a bull. using the 230 target, she put it through the front shoulder. dropped the bull. when I was done hugging her and being a very proud dad, we hiked across the canyon to find her first bull laying where he was last standing. the bullet busted through the front shoulder and did not exit. the insides were slosh. anyway, since then, I ran a few OTMs through the gun (I like to tinker). as I mentioned before, the groups were about the same. now I have not done an extensive load test or seating depth test to see which one really has the edge.... I have to wonder if the OTM would be technically better with my 1 in 10 twist. I plan on shooting more but just thought in the mean time I would see if anyone had come to a conclusion between the two in their rifles. again, thanks for your input. Ive really been pondering the 215 also.... that form factor looks pretty good. [/QUOTE]
