Bigfish86 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 I was looking at starting with a 150 and work up a few different loads and then working my way up from there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted February 9, 2019 With a 1:10 I would stay in the 150 to 165 range. I know all the rage is to go heavy but for what you are planning to shoot 150 is fine. Heavier pill = more recoil / less case capacity for powder and less velocity so more bullet drop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigfish86 Report post Posted February 9, 2019 To be honest I dont want to go heavy with the projectile I see no need for anything over 165g. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
