Is it just me or does every long range hunting bullet compromise too much in some category? Will we ever see one that truly does it all?

[QUOTE="BuckeyeRifleman, post: 2402769, member: 110280"] I’ve tried most of them, and considered them all. ELD-X, Poor performance on game at shorter range, no exit wound and nothing to track Berger/OTM, many stories of the same. I just don’t trust non bonded cup and core bullets on larger game. No doubt they kill plenty of game, and they shoot lights out, I just don’t trust them to give me an exit wound and something to track. Especially up close. ABLR- Didn’t shoot for **** in my rifles. Mono/LRX/Hammer, etc- This is my current choice, but let’s face it, the BC’s leave something to be desired. Out to 500 or so it doesn’t matter too much, but you do have to be much more considerate of wind even at those ranges. Bottom line it seems like there are either great hunting bullets that aren’t so great in the BC category or great target bullets that kick *** in the BC category but terminally don’t perform like traditional hunting bullets, especially up close. (That’s as politically correct as I can make that statement. Lol!) Will we ever see bullets that perform like mono’s and shoot like bergers? Just keep waiting for technology to give us a bullet designed like a mono with the density of lead! [/QUOTE]
