[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1524283, member: 85987"] How far can you hit a paper plate every shot from both? In the 243 try the 95tmk bc .500 and 90 game changer .490. Both have much higher bc's. The Ballistic coefficient for the 100gmk is .43 Above 2800fps and .419 2800-2200fps In the 308 The 168 was designed for a 600yd target bullet. The 165 is similar in shape but even less aerodynamic. With a .409 BC @ 2650 your at 1000# of energy at 500yds. The berger I shoot in my solver is corrected to .496 @ 2882fps and proven out to 1100yds @ 35 degrees 1300ft elevation. It has 957# of energy @ 850 where I hunt. If I were you I would look at these bullets the 165 gamechanger the berger 168 175 elite hunter and 180 all have good shape . The ELD X and 178 eldm Both are in the .530and up range. These will go through the wind better and deliver more energy on target. They are hardly the only bullets that do this. Nosler makes some good game bullets that are also good in the wind. However you need to shoot them because what the box says and what the bullet actually drops isn't even remotely the same in alot of cases. Hammer bullets are also a good option especially in the 243.
