I'll be loading/shooting some Rem 170gr RNCL in my .308Win this fall. If I didn't handload, I would use Remington's 180gr RNCL load. Even against a high BC 168gr HPBT-Match bullet, given the same starting speed (and same 200yd zero), the difference is only about 3-3.5" less drop @ 300yd. Velocity and energy is far behind, but still way more than adequate, with right at 1000ft lb!!!
