[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1674595, member: 103303"] There is no substitute for practicing 'long range' with your hunting load. If you just want to work on positional shooting inside 300yd or so, you may be able to find a reasonable facsimile. Even though there is a lot of cheap 140 and 155gr surplus ammo available, I would avoid it and try some Winchester 150 power points to remington 150 core lokt's. Try a few brands, stick to 150gr, hopefully you will find something that shoots sub-moa and to a similar POI (point of impact) as the Barnes. I wouldnt worry about BC at all. Once it comes to practicing 'long', shoot the hunting bullets as constantly building/verifying DOPE (data on previous engagement) is the name of the game. I think that's the best I can offer!
