[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 210414, member: 4191"] Solution: Load the Nosler Accubonds, E-tips, Barnes TSX - take your pick - in the magazine and use those for close shots under 400 yds. Tack driving accuracy, high BC, and low ES and SD aren't absolute necessities under 400 yds. If the Bergers shoot good at long range, load and use them for long range shots where you'll have time to prepare for the shot. If the Bergers won't fit in your magazine when loaded to jam into the lands, then load and fire them one at a time - single shot style. It won't be a handicap if the game is a long ways off. You'll generally have time to load and shoot them single shot style. Then you'll have the best option for both scenarios. This is a standard practice of mine in Alaska. I carry brown/grizzly bear loads in the magazine for a close range encounter of the worst kind, and these bear loads are also fine for fast action game animal encounters out to 400 yds. Then if I set up to take a shot across the mountain at long range, I swap out and load my long range loads single shot style. Hasn't posed any handicap for me to date. All my effort goes into developing the long range loads. Just about any stout bullet will suffice and be accurate enough for the camp bears and closer shots - on out to 400 yds - on big game sized animals. [/QUOTE]
