[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1504767, member: 103303"] I think many agree a 180 is the best all around choice, but for 450yd plus, I disagree. I'm a prairie dweller and shoot 200gr accubonds out of my '06. They go a little slower than 180's (~2650fps) but the .588 BC makes up for it beyond 400yd. Even then, at prairie altitude 550yd is about max before they fall below Nosler' 1800fps threshold for expansion. They hang together pretty well, have yet to recover one. Shooting anything < 200gr in a 300WM makes no sense to me, unless it's a monolithic. Lots of good options out there in 30 cal! [/QUOTE]
