[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 900050, member: 3756"] My 50% subjective and 50% objective opinions. :-) The most trustable bullet in radius of 4-500 yards on the far side and close to very personal, is the Barns x derivatives unleaded bullets. Even for large dangerous bears etc. The NAB follows in preference, I really like the 200 gr in my 300 rum For long range work or just anything over 500 yards the Berger is hard to beat. Regardless of what caliber you're using. Not only because of its external ballistics superiority but its terminal ballistics at long ranges. It does great! If using 338 Edge I like the the 300 gr SMK, OTM at any distance up to abilities. If memory serves me right, my son shot an antelope at 128 yards with the 300 gr. SMK. Awesome kill. So suffering, quarter size exit hole and no meat damage. I loved it. My youngest son shot an antelope at 350 yards with a 210 gr Berger, and the opposite side front leg was destroyed... not good ... Same bullet did an awesome job on a bull elk of my middle son's friend at 950 yards... Reason for my conclusions... Not to mention a nice buck shot by my youngest at 380 with 210 Berger out of a RUM... too much damage for my taste but the same bullet at 487 yards on a small doe performed admirably. Reason for my statement of 500 yards or longer... There is not such a thing as one magic bullet to do it all; but if I was only allowed use one type and brand of bullet for all types of hunting it would probably be a Barns bullet on everything from 243 Winch. to 338/300 RUM. Long range would be somewhat handicapped but still wouldn't like good shot to be aiming at me at 700 yards. There is a thread from Broz on long range hunting with Berger will undoubtedly make a believer out of any hunter for the Berger bullets at long range! :) :) :) [/QUOTE]
