[QUOTE="Texis, post: 3051101, member: 121376"] I ordered the 1:8 on my current, in progress build because I wanted options, and the general consensus was it won’t hurt you on lighter bullets 🤷🏻♂️ As most of my shooting will be 160-168gr, and also want to try some lighter stuff, hope the consensus was right! 🤞I’ll know if I screwed up soon enough. From what my ballistics calculator tells me, the 180 and above lose too much velocity to provide the terminal performance I’m looking for at 600yds from a 280AI.. 7 mag should take it out a bit farther. Not a fan of the LR soft nose projectiles, I’ve seen the 80-100yd explosions with little internal damage. I like an AB or Mono.. just me. [/QUOTE]
