[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2830850, member: 94556"] Those loads I described actually out do most 30-06 loads using lead core or other copper bullets. The key is the high BC of the Badlands bullets and the higher energy of the LVR powder yielding higher MVs. I don’t know why people can’t comprehend that high BC allows the bullet to shed less energy during it's flight causing the bullet to hit at a higher velocity at any given distance. 900 yd shots are not for everyone to take because skill levels vary a lot from shooter to shooter. The discussion here is not ethics. In fact this site discourages discussion of ethics. There are plenty of mediocre shooters out there that are challenged by 100 yd shots. Should they be allowed to hunt at all? Who will test their skill and enforce any regulations on them? I personally keep my hunting range to 500 yds or less, but using a high BC flatter shooting bullet that penetrates much better than lower BC lead core bullets can only increase the chances of a successful one shot DRT kill. I hate to track wounded animals. Until you have hunted with the Badlands bullets, you can’t predict their performance on game based on lead core slower bullets. [/QUOTE]
