[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 613169, member: 21068"] Yea, the build was based on shooting 180 Ballistic Tips or Accubonds or similar bullets. It was throated for this weight class. I was after a .5 BC doing about 3000'/sec. It's kind of a lightweight, "all purpose" big game rifle, used mostly on deer/antelope (maybe elk if I ever get a chance to hunt them) with an emphasis for between 300 and 800 yds, 1000 yds max on antelope/doe deer. With the throat the way it is, I was seeing even the 180's robbing powder capacity. I am afraid 210 VLD's would really steal some thunder. Can't say for sure since it's not in front of me, but I think even the magazine length would limit me to 180s-190's (without stealing excessive powder room).? He did mention that the 175 SMK's did very well also, but not as good as the 165 Ballistic Tips. I do have some 175 Berger VLDs that I could try, they're really close to that .5 BC mark. [/QUOTE]
