[QUOTE="peppy1hunting, post: 98762, member: 4944"] As I said earlier- using 7mm rem mag- have been using Barnes TSX 160 gr- but am considering Berger 168 gr VLD- also considering Accubond 160 gr after previous comments. I am just looking for some guidlines as I extend the ranges that I am comfortable with shoot at as to where it becomes borderline that the bullet will not preform well. I don't want marginal shots the would and have a poor chance of humane kill. I do appreciate all the feed back that has been given- I did shoot a nice bull this fall at 450yds with the Barnes TSX 160gr and thought it preformed very well. 1 shot! But was just wondering how far that might extend if you needed to. I agree shot placement is critical, but there comes a point somewhere that the bullet no matter which one you use does not retain enough energy or velocity to perform as it should. That is what I'm looking for, realizing that that distance will change depending on the bullet selected. I like the Barnes but would like to look at other options if they would do better. Thanks- does any one know BC for 160gr Accubond? [/QUOTE]
