What would you recommend? For the most part a 500 yard shot is my max. when hunting, but am curious if I would be better off using something heavier than the 210 TTSX Barnes, which is what I have been getting good results with. I might consider further shots if I new from an ethical point of view I could hit what I'm shooting at where I need to hit it.
I've watched as Oldbadger put three into 1MOA at 1,000 yards PRONE with his wrist resting on a log using an unbraked 338 lapua TRGS .
his bullets at the time were 225 grain hunting bullets IIRC.
I have done quite a bit of loading in the past for a fella that used the 180 XLC
Barnes and he has killed moose WAY out there witu this rig.
it is braked however
