[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 2608773, member: 99039"] If you don't already have the Berger or Hornady good luck in locating them. Last season I was tired of looking and switched my 6.5 Creed over to Hammer Hunter 124gr. They shoot great and at your range, will work fine as well, I shot a buck last season with mine using the HH behind the shoulder into the lungs at 110 yards, he ran all of about 50 yards and piled up. What was great about it, no bloodshot meat, a nice little exit hole all lungs gone. I used to shoot Berger bullets and once you hit one in the high shoulder and watch it drop, you are hooked, but when you open him up and see a hole shoulder wasted, the other shoulder shot to hell, it sort of defeats the purpose of filling your freezer. Before Berger I used regular cup and core 130gr Winchester ammo for my 270 and same thing, throw one shoulder away for the bloodshot meat. This season I will try shooting high shoulder with the hammer and see if I see same problems, I don't think I will with the copper petals peeling off but will see what happens. Sorry for the rambling just thought I would provide my .02. [/QUOTE]
