[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1068178, member: 48043"] Years ago I was a diehard light-fast bullet guy. Now days I'm stuffing 180's in my 7rum and 225's in my 300rum. What I'm seeing as I stretch my rifles out it that the heavier pills are more predictable. That said, I enjoy point and pull shooting, so I have a few rifles using mid weight pills to flatten out the mid range trajectory. For your two loads, assuming a 200 yard zero, the drop at 1,000 yards is within an inch for both pills. The 178, however, is pooped out at that point and at 1540 fps, it likely would be a solid... The 208 is still doing 1700 fps, and that is low but may at least get you a flattened nose and decent wound channel. The trajectory cross over is in the 600-700 yard range; the energy past the muzzle is always better with the 208. [/QUOTE]
