[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1146078, member: 5219"] Yoseppy, Have you manipulated a ballistics program to compare the 168, 180 and 195 Bergers? These three bullets fired from a 7 Rem mag will have very similar performance out to 700 yds. The 195 has a slight advantage in drift but not much. Energy is almost identical. The 168 shoots the flattest at normal hunting distances. I crunched the 168 VLD at 3100 fps, the 180 match hybrid at 2950 fps and the 195 EOL elite hunter at 2850 fps . at 700 yd @ 4000 ft 59 degrees, 10 mph crosswind: 168 drift 18.1 vel 2337.7 energy 2038.3 180 drift 17.5 vel 2273.6 energy 2065.7 195 drift 16.4 vel 2247.6 energy 2018.8 Your 7 rem mag with factory barrel should shoot the 180s and certainly the 168s. Is it worth the money to rebarrel to get it to shoot the 195 for a 1.4" drift advantage over the 180 at 700 yds? Just saying....... [/QUOTE]
