[QUOTE="liltank, post: 626030, member: 13275"] The differences aren't substantial, but I look at it as taking advantage of every bit of ballistic coefficient I can gain. Wind can be a real problem. The 208 is an excellent long range bullet. It will open easier than some of the other bullets available. Here is a comment made you can find in the scrap book selection on the 208 info page: [url=http://www.hornady.com/team-hornady/scrapbook/long-range-whitetail-doug-roope]Long Range Whitetail - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc[/url] Guys on here use them with good effect. I have killed 3 groundhogs in Pennsylvania using 208's in a 300WSM. 1 @ 605(headshot), 1@ 628 behind the shoulder, and 1@ 248 through the body. That one got back in the hole, but there were meat chunks and blood splatter on the fench post and grass behind it. They are pretty effective. [/QUOTE]
