[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1471194, member: 94491"] Thanks for all the suggestions and help--but you all now have me confused as to which bullet to start with since it seems you all are having good results with the 168vld, 168ch, 175 elite, and 180 hybrid Yes the energy of the calculated 168vldh and 180H seem to be very close--the 168 wins for drop, but the 180 wins for wind.--punching numbers for the 175elite seems its at a little disadvantage over both of the others due to its heavier weigh over the 168 and lower bc of the 180 with a longer bearing lenght, its still darn close though and accuracy is gonna win this guy over, as if it's not accurate enough then I can't put it where it needs to go. the 180 has a short bearing length which I like as it might allow pushing it a bit faster for its weight--I also like the hybrid ogive feature of the 180 and 175 for helping in seating length/accuracy potential. My mag allows loading to 3.373" ish, and I hit lands on my 162 eld-x load @ 3.400"---with that info, anyone have a "best bullet" suggestion on which one to start with? guess it depends on which ones are in stock too.
