[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 26929, member: 8947"] Ian, would love to get some comparative info. What you have illustrated would make sense for conventional short range hunting. However, when ranges go 500yds and over, impact vel drops off so that "premium" bullets may actually become a liability. As always, choose the right bullet for the impact vel, size of game and amount of penetration needed. We now have so many different options that we can choose the right bullet to suit our situation. Was shooting some clays at 700yds last week and found some 87gr Vmax in the dirt. The mushroom was picture perfect. Would have been perfect for smaller big game like Antelope and Southern white tail. Normally, that bullet would be a horrible choice for hunting but when slowed down, maybe not so crazy. Impact vel is estimated at 1700fps. I think we need to change our thinking from "best" bullet to "correct" bullet. Jerry [/QUOTE]
