[QUOTE="abinok, post: 67592, member: 16"] Ill give the second half a try, in most cases, er... gotta be careful with that word. In most instances when people talk about heavy for caliber bullets, they are refering to a bullet that is designed for aerodynamic efficeny. Heavy for caliber bullet=high BC. High BC = low wind drift. Low wind drift is the most valuable asset a shooter can have when the ranges get long. The 168 is considered by many to be optimum for the 308Win, but the 168SMK has recently fallen out of favor with most LR shooters bue to its inability to stay stable after going subsonic. In the 308Win, thats in the area of 950yds. Most (myself included) believe the 175 is optimal for LR use in the 308Win. More case capacity... more bullet weight that can be used. [/QUOTE]
