[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 501429, member: 14"] Man, these caliber discussions crack me up! :D:D:D But just to go back to the original question, it was for a [B]deer[/B] rifle, not Elk. In my opinion you do not need premium quality controlled expansion bullets for 1200 yard deer. In fact quite the reverse, you want the bullet that has the best combination of BC verses velocity to give you the best chance of hitting where you want to, and you need a bullet that will still expand well at the very reduced impact velocity at this range. Again, in [B]my [/B]humble opinion, backed up by shooting a lot of deer at extreme ranges, the A-Max's, Bergers and other similar thin jacketed bullets are exactly what you want at this range. Sirocco's, AB's etc are far too hard to give you quick kills at 1200 yards on deer. As for what's best, 7mm Mag verses 300 WM for 1200 yard deer - as we don't need a premium game bullet, just simply run the numbers. Its back to simply BC verses velocity. Bryan Litz has said it all before... Greg ps Am I hearing from this thread that Hornady have released a 225gn 30 cal A-Max or am I getting confused??? If so that will change things for the 30 cal!!! pps Just checked the Hornady website and see the 225gn Match, but no A-Max. Load, is that the bullet you're talking about, and where did you get the BC's from? [/QUOTE]
