    Guess it depends on how hot you load em.

    If you're going for distance then those 90-95 Targex pills don't need a heap of speed to be accurate (from my experience) and kill well.

    Pretty sure I had mine rolling out at 2950 and grouping very tightly. They make quite a solid this when used on possum at around 70 yds...

    The bc on the 87 vmax is also adequate enough for serious long range accuracy too... Did I see the ELDM in 105? Pretty sure that will be too long for the 10 twist though unless someone here has some experience?

    It's way too long. I've still got a box of 105 Amaxes that won't shoot straight, so the 105 ELD's won't unless you've got a faster twist
