[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2578285, member: 115819"] Oof, yeah, the SST is used for very long range on light animals by guys like nate foster, definitely an exploder. Out of a 270 I bet that was a mess. I'd go Lighter to keep velocity up at long range with Barnes since they're speed dependent like most monos, I hear good things about their factory ammo consistency. I'm really curious about hornady's improved mono, if I were in your shoes their 165 cx would be on my list. Hornady has an accuracy ceiling from corner cutting I find annoying but it's accurate enough to make most people very happy, I've never seen a gun not like any hornady ammo and that load says it will stay above 2200 for a long ways. Nosler e-tip has decent numbers. My last gun hated the Nosler I tried but that wasn't their fault, when I inspected it it was very consistent ammo. If a gun likes it I bet it really likes it. Their bullets handloaded have been extremely accurate. Good luck, sounds like you're making a good choice. What make/build are you thinking? [/QUOTE]
