[QUOTE="richhymas, post: 1771220, member: 43504"] I tend to lean towards heavy for caliber bullets at all ranges. It tempers the speed at close ranges while still providing great penetration and expansion. It retains velocity and energy down range to get the job done. I use the 195 Berger for my 7 mm rem mag and the 215 Berger for my 300 win mag. Killed a moose DRT at 100 yards and a deer at 590. Worked well for both situations. My biggest concern at short ranges is excessive bullet expansion which is the enemy to penetration. Light fast bullets run that risk. For deer, you can’t go wrong with any hunting bullet out of a 7 mag, but at 600 yards in elk a light fast bullet you may be marginal. I think at least 168 grains would be a good balance for the range of uses you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
