[QUOTE="Gerard Schultz, post: 901300, member: 51"] If you are hunting at short distances you should shorten the bullet as well. Shorter is lighter and lighter is faster so you need to go the solid copper bullets. In a .243" bore with a 9.25" twist (38 caliber twist) it is actually slower than a 30-06 with a 10" twist (32.5 calibers). We use this method when professional hunters have to follow up game in dense vegetation and it works well. [/QUOTE]
