I have tried 200 gr Sierras. Very tight groups at 100 yards but some voodoo occurs beyond that. Missed everything I shot at with them except one coyote at 165 yds. I checked on a 300 yard target and they were all over the place.

Rechecked sight in and it hadn' t moved. So I switched back to my 150 Noslers, readjusted the scope, and went back hunting. 3 coyotes with the closest at 215 yards and two deer- one at 447 yards.

180s in Sierras will shoot about 1.5 @ 100. But I haven' t checked to see if they do the same as the 200s beyond that. I know the Sierras are not an ideal elk bullet either.

I do have a supply of the Barnes 180 XBTs but don' t have load data. My prefered powder is IMR-4350.

Open to suggestions......
