[QUOTE="Texas Republic, post: 1019519, member: 19878"] Here is my situation to give yall a little more to go on. I shoot a Tikka Tactical 308 with a 20" barrel with a 1:11" twist. I currently shoot a 175 gr. SMK BTHP out to 1000 yard steel, but am wanting to see if there is an actual "hunting bullet" that is capable of the same long range accuracy. My 175 gr load for the SMK uses 42 gr. of Varget. From everything I have read and researched, there is a balance you have to find between bullet weight, BC, and FPS to get you there. Sound right so far? I have read some good reviews on the Berger VLC hunting bullet, but am a little concerned about the length of bullet fitting into my Tikka mag. (I want them to be mag fed). Soo. What advice can any of yall throw my way? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
