[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2337538, member: 60453"] I currently live there, when I'm home. If you can get them, the 180 grain ProHunter bullets give you flat trajectories at high altitudes and a solid construction in a .308 bullet. But I think sierra has discontinued them. Speer still makes both the 180 grain HotCor and the 200 grain HotCor, which are very good bullets, and quite accurate, though. 1" or better groups in a 30-06 at MV's ranging from 2750-2800 for the 180 and 2600 to 2650 in the 200 grain bullet. And while Speer doesn't call them a bonded bullet, because the lead is heated and poured into the jacket, it is somewhat bonded into the jacket with these bullets, so the almost never separate. The 358 250gr Speer bullet is actually a little too tough for deer. For deer with the Whelen, I use the Sierra 225gr Gameking, which is mostly a DRT bullet out to 500+ yards. 500 yards with this cartridge is about the equivalent of a .44 Mag at the muzzle. At a thousand yards it has more penetration and energy than a .357 mag at the muzzle. [/QUOTE]
