[QUOTE="Zen Archery, post: 1176284, member: 60545"] Current bullet, 168r Berger VLD, is struggling beyond 800 yards. Which kinda stinks when you have a 1200 yard range. After doing some reading this is a common issue for my barrel length and twist. It seems like 175-185gr is the sweet spot for those poking out between 500-1200 yards. My question is when looking for a new "target" bullet (non-hunting) should I strive for the highest B.C. why or why not? The 3 Berger Bullets I am looking at are: 5.49 @ 1.378" 5.60 @ 1.353" 5.69 @ 1.435" All are 185gr and share the same .279 S.D. I am favoring the second bullet just because of bullet length and option to load a little more powder when developing the load. What else would you look for in a new bullet load? I have a 24" Krieger Bull Barrel with 1:10 twist. (No, getting a 6.5 isn't an option this year. Finances are going into a thermal for those 4 legged flea bags called HOGS!!!) [/QUOTE]
