[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 707670, member: 12660"] Can't really help without knowing the muzzle velocity...but the 175 can be launched at pretty near the same speed as the 168...about 75 fps difference in my rifle (24") and those are not quite max loads. It really doesn't matter though...with either bullet your reasonable (ethical) hunting range is gonna be 500 yards either way...the bigger bullet will just have more energy and the same velocity on target. You need at least 1,800 fps on impact for either bullet to expand (Berger or Nosler) The Nosler 168 BT is a darn good bullet...just not quite as good as Nosler says it is... [/QUOTE]
