Big mistake on 1-8 twist but you'll learn from your mistake.
Quote; Definitely a different animal... flat shooting long ranger. : Unquote Heavy bullets do not shoot flatter than a faster and lighter bullet. Actually, they drop like a rock. In real world most shots at live targets are taken at less than 400 yards so no need for a heavier bullet less you are shooting at game too large for what your cartridge was designed for.
Agree. I shoot coyotes (mostly 2-300 yards, but I've killed a few past 500 with 55-grainers), and I want something that shoots flat because coyotes don't always stand and pose long enough to get a laser on them. If I were shooting steel or paper at known ranges, then I would probably want something heavier.
