Very interested in trying the 160's I've got loaded up, but I don't think I'll have them ready and sighted in for my next hunting trip (still trialling loads and powder charges etc).

If only it was as easy as having a 120g ultra fast expanding load set up for goats/smaller animals and some 160's for the bigger stuff. Having to re-sight all the time would be a pain.

It is easy. I run two loads in my 08 130 barnes and 168amax. amax zerod at 100y is barnes 1'' high
Amax +200y barnes sub 300y

Hmm. I haven't tried to see if there is any horizontal difference in the POI, because if there is it'd be a pain in the arse.

As I said, haven't had a chance to test my 160's yet. Hopefully they just this a little lower and that's all. The last few times at the range have been prior to hunting trips so it's been a quick zero check then back on the rack.
