[QUOTE="avon7, post: 1786533, member: 63401"] My hunt is in kyrgyzstan next November and my rifle is a Christensen Arms Carbon Classic with a 4-16x50 F1 in Tally Mounts. I have not really done a lot of long range hunting, to be honest I prefer to get as close as possible. I did test the rifle on a Fallow doe at 385 yards and that was fine. I can also consistently hit steel at 550 yards at my local range. With the Ibex hunt shots are expected to be between 250 and 600 yards. I'm sure I wont be shooting past 550 yards. I have used barnes TSX 165 grain bullets in the past and my preference would be Barnes however my understanding is that they are not great for long range due to the Vendor supplying fairly inaccurate and optimistic G1 and G7 data. Also I want to use the Hornady App for load development prior to having a ballistic turret or tape made before the trip. I hear a lot about Berger bullets and Hornandy has data for them in the App so i'm tempted to try them. What would readers here suggest and why? Cheers [/QUOTE]
