[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1523687, member: 52585"] No experience in many years but when I had a rum the 180 Swift Scirricco performed very well. Of course I didn't stuff my own back then so I was limited in choices. I'm thinking of building a 300wm for long range and am bouncing between the 215 berger and 200 grain accubond. I know they're both proven performers but I DO like the bonded core of the accubond giving controlled and reliable expansion without blowing up. I've killed a bunch with it. I know it will bleed off velocity faster than the berger but will still hold more then enough out to my max range. My thoughts are the accubond will maintain 2000 fps to 800 yards at 5000 feet so if the accuracy is there that will be my go to. I've been captivated by the ultra-high BC craze for several years now but when you look at the ballistics charts it's not much difference at less than 1k. With the excellent range finders and many choices of scopes that can be dialed that little bit of BC can be compensated for. At that point the only other advantage to the High BC is reduced wind drift. [/QUOTE]
