Ok, I have developped 2 loads that I like

1). 178 bthp, with 44 gr of varget
2). 155 scenar with 45.6 of varget

I'll be shooting at a max distance of 600 meter

Ballistic looks about the same ??

So wich to choose ??

Re: Wich load to use ?

Which load is more accurate in your rifle?

Which is cheaper?

Is the difference in recoil an advantage one way or the other? (the 155s should be lighter recoil)

 
Re: Wich load to use ?

Well the Hornady 178 is cheeper then the Lapua 155...

Recoil... Well I'm a big guy, so it does'nt matters.

I'll try the both side by side next weekend and decide what to do
 
Re: Wich load to use ?

I would go with the 178 because they buck the wind a little better than the light weight bullets and that load is good to go to 1000 yds as well.
hope this helps.
