[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1322600, member: 12193"] For a lighter weight rifle I would steer toward the 180-190 grain bullets. At 800 yards these bullets will be have a better trajectory and recoil significantly less. You will get about 10-15% more wind deflection when compared to the 210-215 grain bullets but that's a reasonable trade-off in my opinion. You would really have to mess up your wind call for this to be a big deal at 800 yards and under. If you decide to try some of the heavier ELD bullets I would prefer the 212 ELD-X over the 200 or 220. The 212 has a longer ogive and better BC while the other 2 were designed for factory-length ammo and have a short ogive. [/QUOTE]
