[QUOTE="DREBS, post: 764373, member: 61655"] ^^ true velocity does have an affect more than people assume I was just speaking generally You can't beat a berger bullet in terms of accuracy and a hunting bullet but then again understand my benchmarks come at 500 + the highest a 270 bullet comes is 160 grain part that I can find whats a 165 gr part? Also the berger are VLD's( very low drag) this means the tail is tapered and not flat base ( much more accurate ) at 500-600 + but if you have a 24 inch barrel in a .308 with a 185 gr tables may say you can only get 2550 but I'm running 2700 with no pressure signs. So I mean ya you can shoot a 270 to save money and reload like I've said I shoot mine at 800 yards but if the wind kicks up I start getting into more trouble than if I have my .308 I guess I should have said I live I lubbock, tx the 2nd windiest city in the u.s behind chiacago avg 13 mph a day with lots of time I shoot in 17 mph at 1000 yards its a pain but has made me.
