[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1868012, member: 94491"] actually the 165's might be better for the 300wm than the 168's --here is what Barnes says about the 165 vs the 168: These bullets have different ogive geometries. The 165-grain TSX incorporates a shorter tangent ogive in the nose profile. It’s designed for cartridges with short magazines such as the .300 WSM and .300 Win Mag. The 168-grain TSX BT has a secant ogive which lengthens the nose profile and has shown superb accuracy downrange. It offers the best of both worlds because it’s also a premium hunting bullet offering exceptional terminal performance. It is best suited for cartridges such as the .308 Winchester, .30-06 and .300 Weatherby. you can use the twist rate/ stability calculator that berger bullets has on their web page to figure out the stability factor for your conditions [/QUOTE]
