[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1841414, member: 109327"] Haven't seen anyone give you a answer so I'll give you my take. Many of the high BC (heavy/long) bullets will be seated deep into the case and limit case capacity to meet mag length constraints. How factory chambers are throated is another potential place you can run into issues with the bulltet intruding on case capacity. I recommend you check out Berger's stability calculator (it's in their resources and then ballistics tab or just Google Berger stability calculator) on their website and punch in some numbers based on the heavier (high BC) bullets and your shooting environment and you will probably find you aren't properly stabilizing heavier bullets and losing BC with a 11 twist vs a faster twist barrel. Here is the upside, the 180 Elite hunter has shot extremely well for me in multiple rifles I have worked up loads for myself and and a lot of friends rifles and performs well out to distances beyond what most are capable or willing to shoot at game.
