[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 267106, member: 4191"] You should really consider using two different bullets. One for shots closer than ~600yds. The other for the longer shots which will maximize impact velocity at those long ranges in order to maximize the odds of low velocity bullet expansion. You might consider the Barnes TSX or Nosler E-tips for closer range. The 300 SMK or maybe one of the Berger VLDs should they become available later this year. I use Nosler Accubonds from 500-600 yards and closer. Berger VLDs for all shots attempted at longer ranges. This in 7mm RM and 300 Win Mags. In my 338 Edge, I will do the same thing when the Berger VLDs become available. Until then it'll be the Nosler 225 or 250 AB up close and the 300 SMK for the long shots. I'm surprised there aren't more LRHs that do likewise. The bullet requirements for higher velocity impacts is so much different than for lower velocity impacts. It only makes sense. [/QUOTE]
