Lapua 155 or Berger 155.5 full bore

[300 RUM]

Any preference between Lapua 155 or Berger 155.5 full bore out there and why? I know a lot of folks shoot the Berger 185's my self included. I have been going back and forth about bullet weight recently and to be honest speed v. weight. I'm not seeing a major difference on paper other then felt recoil.

Me too.

I can drive the 155's hard and have a lot less recoil then the 185's and it seems like I actually score better with the 155's. I also don't get that hard rifle jump

I always shot higher X counts with the Lapua 155 @ 1K yards in my .3075" Krieger barrels and it seemed more forgiving to bullet jump in a 1.5 deg throat with the tight freebore of my chambers. Although I had won the MWPC with the 155 Lapua, it is my understanding that Litz has pretty much owned the event lately with the 185 Berger. Many of the FTR folks seem to favor the 185 Berger (or bigger) as well.
