[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1756717, member: 66917"] You can shoot the 156 with a 1:8. Do it all the time out of my 26in Proof 6.5 PRC. I've shot it out to 1000 yards with great consistency. But, if most of you shots are less then 500 meters frankly I'd stay away from Bergers in favor of a tougher bullet like a Swift Scirocco or some bonded bullet. Less than 500 meters you really don't need a high BC to get great performance. I hunt in Arizona for Coues deer and most of our shots are 400-700 yards, and sometimes farther. So high BC bullets made to perform at lower have velocities have always been the ticket, but if I'm hunting up north in the trees for elk I switch to a bonded bullet. I have had great luck with Nosler Accubond and partitions. [/QUOTE]
