[QUOTE="Zep, post: 766009, member: 39468"] It's not just the highest BC, it's what the rifle likes. You are only going to get so much out of any rifle using factory. It is kind of like trying to run a race car on 87 octane gas. Yes, the car might run but it is not going to reach its potential, as long as you are willing to accept this limitation then fine. But unless you are extremely lucky I don't see you reaching out any distance with factory. I have tried this myself, it only gets you so far. By all means try numerous brands of manufacture and various bullet weights, you may actually stumble onto something that will at least get your started. A warning about reloading, it ain't cheap. I keep spending major bucks on it. Is it worth it, yes because I want to have in my hands a rifle and handloads that are better than me. In others words, if I miss a target I want it to be my fault not any of my equipment's weaknesses. With that I can strive to get better as a shooter/hunter. It is just part of the sport as I see it.
