I would take the one with less drift and less drop at the range i intend on shooting the bullet.My 155gr with much less BC than the 168 gr does much better to the distances i shoot.Then You have to really just go and shoot the pills to see which one stays tightest at the extreme ranges in your gun.I had a few loads with the 178A-Max in my 308 that cloverleafed at 100 yards.. but at 200 yards it fell apart.. could not explain it at all..// 12" groups.Now my 100 yard groups for the good 155 or 168 bullets are around .75" at 100 but .75" at 200 is what they print also.. go figure. Buy what you think you need and make some loads and go shoot em.They say varget is not temp sensitive.. well in some cases this may be true.. and more true with closer to 100% load density.Certain load densities will prove that what is claimed to be temp insensitive will actually really be very temp sensitive.My freezing temps with varget always shoot tighter groups than 70 degree temps.. gets very frustrating.</blockquote>
