[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 614366, member: 24624"] My 1:8" twist 6br likes the 80gr Berger FB, 105 Berger VLD, and 107 SMK. All shoot into a ragged hole at 100yds. I haven't tried the AMAX. But, your twist may be a tad slow for the heavier bullets unless you're at higher altitudes. You can always shoot some and find out. At 500yds and beyond, the 107 SMKs noticably outperform the 80gr Bergers once you start getting a variable wind. The 105's are about the same as the 107's. But, I was told that you'll spend more time in the long run chasing the lands with the Bergers vs the SMKs. You'll want to weigh the higher MV of the lighter bullets against the reduced windage of the heavier ones. At 600yds, you're going to have to use the reticle or dial for elevation with any bullet. So, flatter trajectory doesn't mean much. However, I think you'll find that BC has more offset the early velocity advantage. Reducing both the windage compensation and time of flight. That's just my limitted experience/opinion. I'll be keen to know what others think and how it turns out for you. -- richard [/QUOTE]
