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="Greyfox, post: 2404685, member: 10291"] While I’m predominately a deer/antelope/ coyote hunter, with dozens of animals effectively taken from 150-1000+ yards, my quest for a bullet(s) that would perform over this range ended several years ago, becoming a lower priority for me. I’m primarily a 6.5 shooter, and the added benefit of new introductions(ie.156EOL) have enhanced the existing offerings/capabilities. While a bullets expansion characteristics has always varied with distance, adjustments in shot placement based on range(at the closer ranges, making placement easier) can result in effective kills with little meat damage with many of the modern high BC designs. It would be nice if the magic bullet that does everything at all ranges shows up some day, but I’m not holding my breath. Compared to 15+ years ago, LR bullet design has advanced substantially….Making LRH a reality….If you work at it. IMO. [/QUOTE]
