[QUOTE="TX mountain hunter, post: 711956, member: 29141"] If you really want to go that light, I would check out the lead free loads (Barnes, Hornady & Nosler). If you really want to have them coming out of the barrel at screaming velocities with still reasonable BC's, take a look at the GS Customs or the Cutting Edge bullets. Most of these lead free bullets will hold together and perform excellent at the higher velocities. Keep in mind that to fully take advantage of the 30-378, you may want to look at some heavier bullets with high B.C.s. If you're looking at 600 yards or less, and wind isn't usually a problem, then by all means, stick with the light bullets if that floats your boat. Play around with JBM Ballistic calculator (wind drift version) and see what fit's your application best. To answer your specific question, I have no idea how those bullets will perform at the extreme velocities you are looking at with such a light grain. Just make sure they are rated for what you will be pushing them if you stick to one of the two. [/QUOTE]
