[QUOTE="trebark, post: 1139472, member: 19172"] All the advice and information you've received earlier is great and I agree with most of it. But let me present an alternative choice.... Rather than shoot the 230grain bullets (either the hybrid or the OTM), consider the 208Amax, 210VLD and 215hybrid. Because you can run them faster than the 230, when the range is inside ~1200 yards, the lighter, faster bullet actually outperforms the 230grainers in drift and drop. Now, get past 1200 and the higher BC of the 230 starts to shine. Although I can and have shot [U][URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-300rum-mcr-70809/[/URL][/U] out to a mile, I would not take such a shot on game at that distance. As a result, rather than shoot the 230s, I chose the 208Amax. Just something to consider. [/QUOTE]
