[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 43840, member: 704"] I shoot a 185 gr Burger VLD with Varget to 1000 yards. I went heavy when a military sniper told me the 175 SMK would stay supersonic to 1000 yards, but the 168 would not because of the lower ballistic coefficient. The higher ballistic coefficient makes up for slightly lower velocity. I have a custom rifle with 1/10 twist and it will stabilize the 185 at subsonic velocities for use with a can. No need for a 300 Whisper. I noticed they recommend less powder for the Amax in the reloading manuals. I loaded my standard load for the SMK using Amax and blew primers. Also in the 6.5 Creedmoor with the same grains of powder that Hornady uses my Burger VLD's average 2724fps and my Amax average 2666fps. Still I shoot a lot of Amax. Mostly because they are half price of the Burgers and nearly as good to 800 yards. [/QUOTE]
