[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1562632, member: 101677"] This is a great thread. To the op, I wanted to add: velocity and energy retained at 1k is one thing, being able to make a cold bore shot is another. Shoot enough 1000yd shots and you’ll be looking for all the wind deflection you can get. I think you said you have a 300wsm. Take that out and shoot the light monos at 1k in the wind. Then load up a heavy 30cal like the 212 or 215 and see how you do. Using bigngreen posted numbers, my 212eldx at a measly 2825fps is beating that 185 338 at 1k on all fronts. Selecting ur bullet or class of bullets first is the optimal way for choosing a lr range gun, then you can match cartridge capacity to your desired action length. Good luck in your research [/QUOTE]
