I understand why the .223 guys use the 77gr at 200 and 300yds and the 80gr at 600 yds (80gr performs better, but has to be loaded so long it won't fit in the magazine). What I don't understand is why .308 shooters use the 168gr at 200-300yds and the 175gr at 600yds. Is this an untrue rumor? Why not just use the 175gr at all ranges and be done with it? Does the 168gr somehow perform better at the shorter ranges?
Thanks in advance - I'm beginning my handloading quest for the perfect .308 loads for Highpower shooting. Any other tips would be appreciated.
