[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1498809, member: 30902"] For convetntional bullets I'm a big fan of the Hornady Interbond and Nosler Accubond/Accubond LR. Sometimes, particularl on this site we get a little bit stupid chasing the latest, greatest, newest, Highest BC bullet possible. In reality you won't notice enough POI difference inside of 1000yds between the .490 and .600 G1 BC's to be outside of the Rifle/Shooter's capability to start with. If you're trying to hit a 12" pie plate at1250-1800yds, it makes a huge difference but everyone ought to ask themselves what the odds are they'll ever take a shot at game at ELR distances and if the answer is "No" quit worrying so much and chasing the latest, greatest.. . As for Hammers those that shoot them seem to be pretty happy with them. Personally as long as I can keep getting them the Peregrine will remain my bullet of choice. I'm admittedly a terminal performance freak and that means I want my bullet to be 100% repeatble expansion wise throught the range of velocities I'm likely to shoot at. Other than the Hornady Interbond and Peregrines nothing has come close. Using the same bullets, same game from point blank to over 800yds I get 1.5-2x expansion and 85-95% retained weight. That gives me about a golfball sized exit on everything from coyotes to huge boars pretty much no matter what I do. I don't like wasted meat and huge gaping holes in game kinda nauseate me, it's just not necessary to blow something up to kill it. Just use a good HUNTING bullet and put it where it belongs. [/QUOTE]
