[QUOTE="PartsJr., post: 2149788, member: 87242"] If your shots are 300ish and in, I’d consider going relatively light for caliber and push them fast for good expansion and flatter trajectory. I have never shot GMX but I’ve read they don’t expand well at velocities under 2200 FPS. I’ve shot Barnes TSX, TTSX and LRX with great results at 300 yds and in. I think that you’d still have good expansion out to 400 yards (maybe farther) depending on which bullet (Barnes) you run. Check your velocity to double check. I have also read a lot of good things about Hammer bullets and would consider using those as well. Double check your barrel twist if you go heavy. Copper bullets run long. Personally I’d go with the .270 over the .308 assuming it shoots as well. [/QUOTE]
