[QUOTE="Talyn, post: 428688, member: 22901"] One doesn't necessarily need to use heavier weight bullets as in the past for long range on target performance due to the newer bullet designs ( ie bonded core, etc). If traditonal bullet designs are used I'd say yes go for higher weights, but a new design lighter-weight bullet will perform as well or better on target while shooting flatter with higher velocities. But it depends on the design and the intended target. Berger VLD hunting bullets are better used for deer and antelope since they open up abit faster and shed weight. I'd use a different design (bonded core) for elk. The 30/06 is my favorite and most used. My .02 [/QUOTE]
