[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1443725, member: 7999"] I guess it all depends on your personal definition of long range. I guess for me I would consider under 160g very light for the 300 Norma. Weight makes bc, along with form, but weight is the big factor that is constant. How a bullet acts on impact is entirely dependent on construction and the material it is made from. Lead bullets and high vel impacts, over 3000fps, are more than likely going to generate massive meat loss. The lead disintegrates and blows all through the meat causing all the meat loss. A mono like ours will not disintegrate, it sheds petals in a few pieces that act like little bullets on their own. The blood damage from high vel impacts will be in the membranes between the muscles and can be cleaned up. Only close to the bullet hole will be actual meat loss. Even on impacts over 3300fps the amount of meat loss is fractional compared to lead core bullets at much lower impact velocities. Steve [/QUOTE]
