[QUOTE="jonoMT, post: 254636, member: 9463"] That's probably a good load for everything you described. I found out the hard way once with Nosler BTs that they did not work well at short range. Generally, that's not a problem since I'm hunting at longer ranges now but that day I found myself in heavy cover where there was no way I'd have a shot over 100 yards. I just didn't think about it and jumped an elk 20 yards away and shot it in the lungs at 35 yards. It dropped, but only after running another 75 yards. There was no expansion. I only mention it because there are occasions when you might want to just carry a few rounds of short-range stopping power. I loaded up some partitions for that job. Otherwise, I agree with trying to standardize on one load. There's enough other stuff to learn about distance shooting. [/QUOTE]
