[QUOTE="Kroberts, post: 1274946, member: 71507"] I'm thnking about switching out to the 195gr class of bullets in my 284win. I've had great results with the 180s out to about 1200yards. But once I step out further I have much more trouble with wind. If I've used proper BCs and speed in my calculator, the 195's should have 1/4 - 1/3 less wind drift at a mile than the 180s do with an almost negligible drop difference. At 1000 yards and in the 180s definitely beat out the 195s. Much flatter and a little difference in wind drift. With this rifle 99.9% of my shooting is at targets so the drop dofference isn't to significant of a factor as long as I can still reach a mile with my scope setup. My barrel is 32" with a 7" twist if that makes a dofference for anyone's input and I've got 2900fps from the 180s but it performs better at 2830fps. For those that have tried the 195s in a 284win, I'm curious as to how they performed from the cartridge? How was the loading compared to the 180s? And we're they very finicky to find a tight load with comparatively? And what was your speed and barrel length, so I have some real world numbers to plug into the calculator to get a more proper calculation? Thanks, Kyle [/QUOTE]
