I prefer burger bullets over most anything else they have never let me downMy hunt is in kyrgyzstan next November and my rifle is a Christensen Arms Carbon Classic with a 4-16x50 F1 in Tally Mounts.
I have not really done a lot of long range hunting, to be honest I prefer to get as close as possible. I did test the rifle on a Fallow doe at 385 yards and that was fine. I can also consistently hit steel at 550 yards at my local range.
With the Ibex hunt shots are expected to be between 250 and 600 yards. I'm sure I wont be shooting past 550 yards.
I have used barnes TSX 165 grain bullets in the past and my preference would be Barnes however my understanding is that they are not great for long range due to the Vendor supplying fairly inaccurate and optimistic G1 and G7 data.
Also I want to use the Hornady App for load development prior to having a ballistic turret or tape made before the trip.
I hear a lot about Berger bullets and Hornandy has data for them in the App so i'm tempted to try them.
What would readers here suggest and why?
Cheers

Here is some info from Bryan Litz's book ballistic performance of rifle bullets a 30 caliber 168 gr hunting Vld I prefer the Shooter app it allows me to run multiple BC's or basically create my own custom curve I'm not sure about Hornady everything should still be Trued at the range but this is about as accurate information as you can start withMy hunt is in kyrgyzstan next November and my rifle is a Christensen Arms Carbon Classic with a 4-16x50 F1 in Tally Mounts.

You might take a look at the Hammer bullets I have found them to be very accurate and perform well on game They are a little more expensive but worth the extra costMy hunt is in kyrgyzstan next November and my rifle is a Christensen Arms Carbon Classic with a 4-16x50 F1 in Tally Mounts.

At those ranges you'd be hard pressed to do better than the 200 gr Nosler Accubond. It has a good bc of .588 to help you with wind drift and decades of phenomenal performance on heavy boned game and even dangerous game. You will not be disappointed with that bullet for your hunt and it is available in excellent factory ammo if that what you need for your international hunt. Best of luck, definitely envious!My hunt is in kyrgyzstan next November and my rifle is a Christensen Arms Carbon Classic with a 4-16x50 F1 in Tally Mounts.

Federal has come out with 2 bullets for the 30. A 175 and a 200. BT tipped solid shank bonded. If your rifle likes them they would be my choice. I have no faith in the nosler LRAB. I loaded 150,s in a standard 280 and at 200 yards it did not make it through a spike whitetail buck. hmmmm Too soft. Pretty much my opinion of the Hornady and nosler long range bullets. But these new federals look like the reAL deal. Think a slippery nosler partition. Always open but never blow up
Cheers
Federal premium edge tlr is the name of these bullets
