270 country in other words.


Thanks



Believe it or not, the 160s will kill stuff at 400m......just fine.


I'll add two cents. With any kind of sight in that doesn't make for a too high mid range trajectory you're going to account for the drop at 400 yards no matter the bullet weight/speed, so you may as well do it for the 160's that shoot so well for you.


I concur. Go with what works.
