[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2150847, member: 92702"] Good decision. Thread the barrel. Everyone, including me sometimes gets hung up on cartridges. The cartridge you use is meaningless. It is just a means to propel a bullet. The bullet you choose, however, is everything. Choose one that will still expand well at your maximum range, is accurate, and has enough remaining energy at that distance to get the job done. Any cartridge that will push it with enough speed to make this happen will work. Every bullet has a working velocity range. Exceed it in either direction and it will perform poorly. That's why earlier I posted to try the 190gr ABLR. They expand at very low velocity, and have a great BC. I had trouble with them up close in my RUM. I exceeded the threshold on the high end. whatever bullet you choose, you will want one both heavier and sleeker than you might normally use. They retain energy better and have less wind correction usually. [/QUOTE]
