I ran a few ballistic charts on JBM. I bought a few 162 a-max's as my barrel was reamed and throated to run the amax's. At 3000fps on both bullets the berger 180 is beating out the amax. But if I get the amax up to 3100fps or so it beats the berger out to 1200yds. My question is does it pay off to up the amax's load to match or beat the berger 180's just to still fall short after 1200. Am I too much of a noob to worry about the lack of 1200yd performance compared to the berger? The other thing is say my barrels life is 2600rds. I thought about buying 26 boxes of either ammo. The berger will cost me almost 500 dollars more to shoot over the life of the barrel. I can replace the barrel I have with a new one if I just use what the barrel was intended for.
Cliffs::
Barrel can be purchased for savings of shooting amax over berger.
Am I too worried about small ballistic changes and should I just shoot!!!
