[QUOTE="338edge, post: 1016266, member: 34435"] I have used both. I prefer the 180 because g7 bc=.337 versus the 168 g7 bc=.316. Granted not much difference but is another hair too split. I've killed a 7x7 bull with 168gr @ 3250 out my 7mm stw factory sendero barrel at 790 yards one shot kill with a high shoulder shot and had no problems at all. The load was at the top end for pressure knowing I was going to rebarrel with a hart 26" barrel. My load now is the 180 gr berger @ 3186 being pushed by 74.0 grs of 7828 and nosler brass. Very little pressure sign= very small ejecter mark on the case head, no sticky bolt lift. Most of the time it will hold 1/2" or better @ 100yds. Out to 1080 I shot a 4.5" 3 shot group under epic shooting conditions. Corey [/QUOTE]
