[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 868172, member: 20355"] You have to consider the likelyhood that your rifle may not shoot the best accuracy at a "best case scenario" muzzle velocity. My 7mm Rem Mag was shooting the best at a velocity of 3030 with 168 VLDs....a 20 round average of .3 MOA. I was almost dead set on not changing anything. The same rifle is now shooting the 180 VLDs at nearly the exact same POI, and group size at a confirmed mv of 3105. I'll be using both loads and bullet availability will be the deciding factor, but it's not hard to see what one I would choose. In my scenario with a full value 10mph wind...the 180s offer 7" less wind drift at 1000 yds...but an additional 267 lbs of ke and 2 MOA less drop. How your rifle will respond to each bullet is what should make the difference. [/QUOTE]
