[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1831093, member: 108965"] Yup, exactly. For Hunting a heavier bullet works really good and for longer ranges the higher BC the better. Before bullets like the SST and Ballistic tips came out we used 160gr Gamekings and Partitions on the 7mm-08 for mulies and they worked great, we usually kept shots under 350 yds. For example my 139gr SST load at just over 2,800 fps still has 1,800 fps at around 550 yds, and my 162gr SST load although pushed slower also has 1,800 fps at almost the same distance, reason why I want to try out the A-Max. The advantage goes to the heavier bullet that will have about 200 ft/lbs more at that range and more weight for more penetration. [/QUOTE]
