[QUOTE="sw282, post: 2336203, member: 93980"] Light/Fast boolits are BEST. Light ones get there quicker too. Example: This year, June 2021, New Mexico my pd buddy and l were both shooting 223s. He like 55gr boolits @3200fps. l prefer 40s @ 3700-3800fps. He gets good hits with his 55s. My 40s are SPECTACULAR. lnide 300yds the 40s make them EXPLODE. Cut in HALF. You can hear mine POPo_O Another thing: Leave the ARs at home. Esp for your first chuut: Stick with single shots/bolt guns. A guy and his son rolled into the lodge from PA for their first PD outing. Both packing ARs, Together they shot around 600 times. Killed about 40 PDS. They both went home disappointed. Blaming their guns/scopes/ammo. Guides say ARs make folks Spray and Pray. PD buddy and l shot maybe 400rds. 50% kill rate. Scopes. We both use 6-20x. Simpler reticle the BETTER. l use a simple crosshair. Bud uses a fine duplex. Some of these ''tacticool'' scope reticles are so cluttered you cant even FIND those PD targets. You dont have time to DIAL IN your shot either. After a few ''dial ins'' you likely have no earthly idea where those boolits are hitting [/QUOTE]
