[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 2224267, member: 93895"] I don't think that you will be displeased with a Berger or eld-m 180 grains & up in that cartridge. With a 26" barrel, I think that you may be able to push a 180 to 3050 fps with that cartridge and a 190 to around 2940. It's highly likely you will find an accuracy node around 3050 fps. There should be one or possibly two accuracy nodes between 2800 to 2940 fps with the 190. Of course the higher B.C. bullet at any of those velocities I mentioned is going to resist wind better than a lower bc bullet. Any way you slice it, a 190, 195 or 180 pushed to those velocities is going to be impressive granted that you have good accuracy along with those velocities. They may all shoot great for you but more than likely, the rifle will prefer one of these bullets over the others even if there's just a small difference in group size among them. [/QUOTE]
