[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 979171, member: 63138"] waynard I tend to prefer tough bullets going fast so I avoid ballistic tips and the like which are known to be soft. I favor Barnes TTSX or LRX bullets. For longer range shots going out past 500 yards I will however switch to Bergers for improved BCs though they tend to fragment. That fragmentation will usually result in more DRT kills than Barnes as the range grows. For example, my main load in my 7mm WSM uses the 145 grain LRX but I also have some 180 Bergers loaded up if I really need to stretch out. With the 7mm-08 (as it is relatively slow) I might split the difference and go with a regular Accubond. It will not go splat on a shoulder but does loose about 40% of bullet weight on impact.
