[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2269743, member: 91783"] I am sure that there have been improvements made to the bullets since the early 80's . I don't know what kind of winds you have in N.C. here in the mountains and foot hills we have gusting winds often swirling so they aren't from one direction and may be up or down ward called rotators , up and down drafts . Today we have gusting winds from 15 to 30 mph mainly out of the south east ,it really doesn't make much difference what round you choose to use here the wind will affect it at some point in time . I tried that chambering back then and found it not suited for my needs if it works for you fine and good for you , enjoy shooting it and the best of luck to you with it . For me I found that the 223 with 55gr Sierra boat tail hollow point game king worked best for my needs and did little fur damage when loaded to run at 2900 f.p.s.m.v . . Yes they had wind drift also but worked out didn't exit most times and dropped the animals in their tracks when I did my part as will the 17Rem and many other calibers . Rifles , calibers and almost anything else in life is a matter of what each of us find to our liking and fits our needs the best in our opinion . A Chevy , Ford , Toyota or any other truck may or may not fit your , or my needs it's up to each of us to find what will or will not work for us and as I live in the United States of America as do you we are able to have and state our opinions as long as we aren't causing harm to others or people that aren't old enough to fend for them selves even the president of the U.S. can act a fool and show his back side if he so chooses .
