[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 940642, member: 63748"] Welcome to LRH. If long range hunting is 1000+ yards I'm somewhat at a loss on how to reply. There are a few books to include [I]Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting[/I] detailing the aspects of precision and accuracy required for what I think you are asking. Wind uncertainty and the ability to reduce the effects will most likely be the “Achilles Heal” when making 1000+ yard hunting shots. Selecting a bullet with a high BC combined with a high velocity will help reduce the human errors associated with wind uncertainty miscalculation. The book suggested should answer what I think you are asking. Im not certain there is a single cartridge to meet all needs although some are better suited than others. [/QUOTE]
