[QUOTE="LongShot4Real, post: 714384, member: 56429"] I was raised by a grandfather and father who always said if you can't kill it the first shot you dont shoot. Less than Perfect shots mean wounded animals lost game and ruined hunts.......and in my humble opinion anything less than perfect is unethical bullet selection aside. I've never lost an animal the farthest any of them have gone after the shot was 3 steps. I believe that in hunting you really should worry about the ethical shot to cleanly humanly kill the animal not the prayer shot you hope will kill the animal. I missed out on a monster mule deer buck (180-200") because I couldn't be 100% sure I could make the clean kill. Because of the way he was standing and then he moved into the mahogany. Never saw him again. Sounds petty to pass a buck up like that based on the way he was standing. But that's how its done in our house.....you don't have the ideal shot you don't shoot. these variables can be tough at 300 yards. Then at 1000 yards those variables are amplified so bullet selection becomes crucial for good penetration and lethality. bergers are just match bullets marketed as a hunting bullets. The only difference is the color of the box they come in. as I have started in other threads to each there own. Choose wisely. [/QUOTE]
