[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 567237, member: 27328"] Loner, Go to Terminal Balistics Research and let Nathan Foster explain it to you . He is a New Zealand PH. Click on the Knowledge Base and then click on the 7x57mm Mauser The Hornady A-Max and Berger VLD are something of a modern legend in New Zealand. The idea is to hit your game at approximately 2500 fps or less with these long soft target derived bullets. The Hornady .224 75-grain HPBT Match bullet and a long, fast twist .223 Rem barrel has long been used to take whitetail deer over here. These heavier 7mm match bullets on mule deer and elk at long ranges are thus a no-brainer. The experts who never used them will tell you otherwise. Of course, try not to hit heavy bone on the way in. For shooting through heavy bone in a .224 Rem, you use NATO 5.56 SS109/M855 armor piercing ammo in a 9" twist medium/long barrel. A guy I met in Montana has been using it for years. A lot of stories are spread by the expensive bullet people against the cheaper stuff that works anyway. Just gotta know how to use the cheaper stuff. [/QUOTE]
