[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 266844, member: 2736"] I to use dedicated hunting bullets when hunting big game. ( on varmints it doesent matter a hole lot). Also I use shot placement to enhance a bullets performance. For example=If using a ballistic tip out to 400 yrds I will shoot in the area just behind the sholder because the impact velocity is high and expansion will be plenty. From 4 or 500 yrds to the low impact velocity recomended by the maker I will try to just clip the back of the sholder on impact or the offside sholder to stop the bullet. Below the 1800ft/sec velocity range calls for a high sholder shot to guarantee bullet performance. I think if you look at most of the 1500+yrd shots made buy the members they will be high sholder shots no matter what bullet is used. There is no magic bullet but if you know the performance limits of the bullet you want to use like Steve does you can have more success shot to shot. If one goes hunting armed with all of this knowledge he can decide whether or not to take an other wise iffy shot with confidence. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
