I do not understand why folks like weight for rifles and archery. remember E=velocity squared times mass.
I still have boxes of TTSX Barnes bullets in 139. My experience has killed deer out to 930 yards (=- 5yrds) and bear to 425. All of them just dropped nary a twitch. I did try 168 Bergers originally, then 220 Berger. At 100 yards they were all over the place and the 220 were even worse.
I was at Marksman in Lethbridge picking up powder. we discussed my dilemma and sold me a box of TTSX 139. After some adjustments started to nail drive out to 300 yards bench of course.

High BC and weight is more effective terminally that cant be argued a 300winmag with 212g eldx at 2800fps has nearly double the energy and about 200fps faster at 1000yds than a 300rum shooting 130g barnes at 3800fps and yes the light weight in the rum has about 5moa less drop but if your dialing your dialing whats another 1/4 turn
But whatever you prefer we all have out own preferences and know what works for us keep us posted on your new setup
