[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 709740, member: 10291"] I agree with the prior post that accuracy is a priority. For hunting at your intended max range I think right behind being able to hit your target is the bullet performance. Weight and energy is only important if the bullet does damage and doesn't pencil through or blow up before it hits the vitals. If these aspects were equal, I would opt for bullet and velocity combination that gives the lowest wind drift, since this is the most difficult variable to determine. Generally I prefer a high BC bullet unless I loose the advantage in having to use too low a velocity. Differences in drop within reason takes on lesser importance since range and drop data can be determined and accounted for. As to barrel wear, I think bullet velocity is a much bigger factor than bullet type with hunting style bullets. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
