im after some advice on my bullet choice
at the moment im loading a 130gr head in my .308 and im getting average results but the only problem i have is its a absolute pain to find any 130gr heads around where i live but 150gr always seem to be in an abundance so im thinking of making the change. there is also a bigger range of bullet types within the 150gr range most apealing to me is boat tails which i just cant seem to find in 130gr.
the biggest problem i do have tho is im a bit worried about bullet drop, my rifles main job is for fox control and what i like about the 130gr is that i can just raise the cross hair to the top of the foxes shoulder and strike dead centre of its chest at 200 yrds and to be honest i dont shoot out much further than that on a regular basis and it keeps it all simple. so what im trying to ask then i suppose is is ther much of a differnce bettween 130 and 150gr
