Obviously accuracy is better than both. Have to agree 140g fine, that's what I use in my 708. If speed is ya fancy you can dial for it if slow or fast, so again it comes down too accuracy

What about the 150 LRAB's? Anyone had much luck with them, should be able to fling them a little quicker and if you believe the numbers comparable bc to a 162 amax.

Quickload say rl 17 with 162s will end up around 2600 in an 18 inch barrel

I was looking at the same but have decided to just go 140nbt's

good luck finding RL17

You would be better off with 150g Nosler Ballistic Tips, the reduced velocity will favour the BT for on game performance.

The 140 BT is a better choice again
