[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 2868898, member: 120824"] The LRAB, if you can find them is right there nicely in the middle. It's not cup and core, but it performs to a much lower velocity than the AB. Plus it has a better BC. In a 7-08, the 150LRAB is hard to beat. They were my go to bullets before I stopped hunting with lead. If you go with nosler's minimum of 1300fps, and a double base powder to get everything you can out of it, about 2850fps. That puts your maximum range over 1000 yards. Even if you go with a more conservative 1800fps, 700yards. If you're shooting that long of range, then you're probably not doing it with a typical sheep rifle. I'd love to see someone take a typical 4.5-5lb sheep/goat rifle(any cambering) and make a cold bore shot on target at 700+. There's some people that can do it. They're not typical. [/QUOTE]
