I would shoot either of the two loads you have listed.

Shoot each of them enough to see which shoots the tightest groups at 100 yards.

Then get one or two more boxes of that ammo, and sight in dead on at 200 yards.

You will be set to go.

Out to 300 yards, there isn't enough difference in drop between a 150 grain to 180 grain bullet to even notice a difference on a game animal.

The 180 will out penetrate the 165, which will out penetrate the 150 of the same bullet - ie - All of the being Accubonds, or all Partitions, etc.

And the Accubond IS a good all-around bullet!

Later,

Marcial
