I recall asking Mike Palazzo a while back what bullets he liked, his response "Well, whichever one the gun likes of course!". Enough said.

well Larry your one step ahead of me I didn't get to do the long range shooting this fall after I got my new scope but, I am hitting 1.5 inch. high at 100 three shots touching, I think it will work
