I thought about Barnes 180's as well. Shot a few 200's at the range and they performed very decently. BUT we don't own Whelens to shoot 180's and 200's right? Like you I settled on 225 AB's and I can say honestly that I haven't grouped anything tighter at 100-200 through any of my other rifles including the Creedmoor.

Great caliber. Very understated. Quite similar to the 338 for speed and thump out to 250ish with 225's and 250's with a lot more manners. Cheap brass being an added bonus. It has become the only rifle of the 9 I own that I will never sell.
