[QUOTE="Sub MOA Hunter, post: 709725, member: 55699"] Am building a 280AI 26 to 28'' barrel for long range 400m to 1000m hunting (varments/deer) but also want to have the option of LR target shooting I have run some data through my ballistics program 180gr Ber VLD mv 2820fps and 162gr Amax mv 3000fps, 180gr show it drops 86cm more but has 3.5cm less drift (10mph wind) I have read that alot of target shooters are using 180 because of the high BC and I guess higher energy is also a good thing for hunting, I believe in look what the experts are using but the Amax seems like a better option, flatter and only 3.5cm @1k seems erelevant as im not going for world 1000yd record If barrel life is effected by using different weighted bullets then that is also a consideration, before some one asks I would prefure to use one bullet type for all applications as I want to master the rifle and not get mixed up over what round does what over different ranges/wind conditions I guess what Im asking is what round is going to give me the best accuracy or best compromise for what Im doing???
