birmingham, al
has anyone out there compared performance from 500 to 1000 yards? i have been using the 190's with very goods results in my gap .308 crusader but I am considering going down to the 185's to lighten up the pressure a bit. the 185 bc and dimensions are a bit different, seems the 185's are a slightly longer bullet, slightly lower bc. curious what results you have had.

i havent tried either but what about these:

30 cal 185 Grain Match Target BT Long Range

higher bc than the 185vld and should be a little easier to get to shoot bc seating depth isnt as sensative

after deer season i am going to give them a try

As Shootone stated try the 185 BTLR bullet. Many Palma shooters are using it and it is a very good LR bullet.
