[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 838105, member: 5219"] dk260, I hear you on the barnes bullets. I used to use Barnes bullets. I had many bullets anchor but not kill quickly. Only had one spectacular kill on a cow elk at 350 yd in a howling crosswind. Punched both scapulas and she folded to die within a minute. I had to put the crosshairs far off the POI to get that cow and began to reevaluate my choice in bullets. When I became aware that higher BCs reduced bullet drift I dropped them and moved to accubonds. Then along came Berger hunting VLDs! Now that there are hybrids I dropped the VLDs because they are seating depth friendly. I still use accubonds in two hunting rifles a 338 RCM with 225s and a very rough 257 weatherby that began to chew up the 115 VLDs, the rest of the big game rifles are using Bergers. Funny how we evolve over time. Been hunting for over 30 yrs and THINK I have the bullet thing figured out.... [/QUOTE]
