[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 927232, member: 28191"] My rule of thumb is to shoot the heaviest, highest BC bullet your barrel can stabilize and that you can push to at least 2900 fps. In the 300 wby, that would be bullets from 208 to 230 grains. Lighter bullets might shoot just as accurately at 100-200 yards, but as range increases, the higher BC bullets will have less and less wind drift than the lighter bullets. [/QUOTE]
