[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1733195, member: 69192"] For me I choose bullet for a particular application, accuracy and performance. In the .270AI, I've found the Nosler Core Bond Long Range 150gr to be a go to bullet for 300+ shooting on whitetail deer. In the 30-06 I started with the Hornady 168gr Match bullet (HPBT) to find out what the rifle was capable of; it was very easy to develop an MOA load for it. I am hoping that I can find a good load for the 30-06 using the Nosler CoreBond Long Range bullet for whitetail deer hunting out to 300yds. Because my rifle likes the Hornady 168gr match bullets I'll start with the load data for the CoreBond LR bullets and go from there. In the 35 Whelen there's two bullets that work well, for black bear the Barnes TX 225 grain bullet, but.....the distances I am shooting are between 50-60 yards; totally open, large entry and very large exit holes. For the Whelen out to 300 yards I use a Sierra 225gr Gameking SPBT bullet, there is no comparison between the Gameking and the Barnes for accuracy, Gameking works hands down every time. For black bear hunting, again at 50-60 yards the 45-70 likes just about anything that I put through it for accuracy. Presently I am hunting with a Barnes 300 grain, TX hollow point bullet, and unfortunately I haven't had any experience with the bullet's performance. [/QUOTE]
