[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1028618, member: 5219"] I have compared the 168 berger to the 180 using the JBM program using the velocities obtained with my two 7mm rifles. (7 Rem mag and 7mm/375 Ruger) Latest comparison was the 168 classic G7 .309 vs the 180 hybrid target G7 .345. The energy and drift of these two bullets are very similar to 750 yds which my personal limit for shooting at a big game animal. The OP didn't mention bullet performance on game which IMO also has to be considered. The two bullets will have different performance on game due to the jacket thicknesses and that would be my reason for using one over the other. Coues wt I'd use the 168 classic. Elk or bears I would use the 180 hybrid target. [/QUOTE]
