[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1151221, member: 9551"] Bart I hope it is clear to you that your advice does not cover VLD bullets like the Berger series of hunting bullets. I am just now working with the new 142 Accubond Long Range (Nosler claims a .715 BC). Hornady also has a new series called Extremely Low Drag Expanding bullets. These bullets in cartridges like the Nosler 26 and Weatherby 6.5 are the future of long range hunting. I shot the 200 gr Sierra years ago in a .300 H&H Model 70 Supergrade that was rechambered to .300 Weatherby at 3030fps. I found they would reach the 1.75 inch level at 100 yards (fixed 6X Redfield TV tube scope). I did not think of that outfit as a long range weapon. Shooting it did not lead me to expound on how to load long range ammunition. I have owned Model 70 .300 WSM rifles with factory and custom barrels, a 1885 Winchester Highwall in .300 Win Mag, a Montana 1999 in .300 Ultra Mag. I think there are better choices for long range hunting than the 200 gr Sierra BT. I like the 200 Accubond. A young friend used this combination to take long range shots at both elk and moose. Now it is not likely I will get the rifle back from him. He has his own set of Wilson seating die, Forster and Redding bushing size dies and ancient Bonanza Co-Ax Press. The 210 Accubond in .308 offers a .730 BC and it is probably even better. [/QUOTE]
