What were your worst caliber/rifle choices

Quality brass
Norma is ok but Nosler is generally a bit soft and subsequently has a bit shorter life compared to other brass in the same price range. Lapua, Petersen’s and ADG are superior to both in every way- Bater

Added these with the 130SGC’s this fall. Just over 200yds on the muley and 527yds on the bull. Both pass throughs with shredded lungs.- Bater

I will say the 130/6.5’s don’t seem as tough as the 120NBTs. But I’m sure FLS is talking about the average NBT and he’s right, on average they act a little tougher. The 284/120 & 30/180 are anomalies and not exactly representative of the NBT line.- Bater

7wsm??
H4831 for temp stability and 160ABs for all that walks. The 162 has a better bc and will excel at longer ranges but is not as tough as the AB if larger critters are on the menu. The 175s generally need a 9 twist or faster so may not be fully stabilized depending on your tube.- Bater

Vortex opinions

As promised, 130SGC via 260Rem. Impact speed around 2700fps, broke left shoulder on entry, scrambled lungs and left a quarter sized exit tight behind the right shoulder. Can’t ask for more.- Bater

CDS custom dials at different elevations
Get a simple and free ballistic calculator app on your phone and then you can check for yourself. Just to give you an idea at 500yds my 260Rem pushing .510 G1 BC drops just over 2” more at 1500’ than at 5000’.....so out to 500yds and in there is little to worry about.
