[QUOTE="Takem406, post: 996764, member: 72588"] I've been shooting Barnes 150 TSX bullets on deer from my 308 and 22-250 for years! I've never had any issues inside 300yards. My last doe was a big mulie at 378 and the bullet worked flawless. However I'd like to shoot a heavier bullet with better BC to go a little further this year for mulie bucks. Also in Montana we fight the wind a lot. So even a bullet with better BC would help wind drift inside 200 yards. What weight should I start with? 168? My rifle is a 1—12. I've heard things about Barnes bullets not expanding at lower velocity and the 308 is no speed demon. Would the 168 grain TTSX work well out to 500? What's the deal with Berger hunting bullets? I've heard they are accurate but I've also heard they break up too easily. But when your a Barnes fan boy everything breaks apart too much. Also looking at Nosler Ballistic tips. Seen good reviews and the price is cheap enough I could shoot a lot for cheap. The BC seems very well too. That or would the Accubond be "better"? I like Hornady but Nosler has better BC. Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
