[QUOTE="lerch, post: 103896, member: 3115"] I am gonna second 25-06 man on this one, when I started this long range venture I was shooting a 300RUM with the 125gr ballistic tip. YOu wanna talk about some speed, that little sucker was topping out at 3960fps. My buddy shot a buck with this load at 450yds and the bullet actually preformed pretty well with a decent exit wound. COnsistancy was a issue over time and the barrels wore out pretty quickly. After a lot of arguing I finally saw the light with the help of some guys on this board and starting shooting the heavier bullets. For game hunting I would say go with the 180gr accubond, this bullet should provide reliable preformance over the widest area of shooting distances. Take it from me, speed is pretty cool but in the long run a high BC heavy bullet pushed at a moderate rate will win, its just a fact. If nothin else the heavier bullets hit harder at long range. good luck steve [/QUOTE]
