Is it just me or does every long range hunting bullet compromise too much in some category? Will we ever see one that truly does it all?

[QUOTE="Mad Minion, post: 2403680, member: 107917"] This year I shot an Elk at 578 yds with a Berger 245 EOl, double lung his hind legs buckled and rolled down the hill, no exit wound lungs were mush. 2 weeks later shot a whitetail buck at 89 yds, same bullet, gun etc. Double lung, dropped right there. Lungs were mush no exit. Both animals there was no meat loss, at all and it would appear the 245 berger reacted exactly the same at both distances. I didn't measure the weight of the recovered bullets but my eye says they are pretty close to equal. Weapon: 300 NMI 245G berger EOL 3023 mv. Last year shot a doe whitetail with my 6.5 x 284 with a 156 berger EOL, double lung. Exact same results as the 245 EOL. The 6.5 velocity is 3007 at muzzle. 3 animals I have seen great results with lung shots, all 3 were DRT. That being said I bout some bulldozer bullets to try out just because I can't stop messing with my rifles [/QUOTE]
