Anything along those lines will serve you well for what you want to do . Heavy lead to sabots adds lots of options. I will leave it at that so as not to get into info overload for you
Too lat for info overload....... knee deep in it already but working through it .

What are you slinging out of each of those ? Can't imagine you're using the same bullet in all of them ?! This is what I'm trying to get a grip on I guess. All the different twists and what goes best out of them and maximizing it all for power and distance.
