I also like the 168 A-max out to 800 yards. It does very well (when pushed out of my 28" 308), out to these distances.

I hope no one thinks I'm a 168 A-Max hater. It is very good at lots of things, it's just not a thousand yard .308 bullet.

FM, a fella who is a competition shooter criticized me for cleaning my barrels too much between range sessions. He said you harm your barrels more by cleaning than shooting them. Also takes more / less number of rounds to foul barrels to get them to shoot during load development. If shooting the same bullets, leave the barrel alone, and if shooting different bullets between load developments, then clean them and foul them before load development. Since then, I have seen that I spend less time during load developments because some of those load developments had nothing to do with my loads but has not been fouled enough to settle down. And to clean the barrels after about 200 rounds or so.

^^ Exactly. A lot of shooters look at you like (see image below), when you tell them you need to go to a heavier bullet with a higher BC, which slows their muzzle velocity down. I even had a guy not believe me when I told him this, and he wanted to go to a much lighter bullet launched even faster with a horrible BC, that was going to decrease his effective range.
