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="WildRose, post: 2402830, member: 30902"] Not a compromise, design for a specific use. Long Range means they are designed for best performance with low velocity impacts. Don't use a hammer for a wrench, don't use a VLD type hunting bullet for short range. The best bonded bullets tend to have lower BC's because their design is for impacts from 100-400yds basically. Where you really get compromises is when a manufacturer is trying to please everyone, the design requirements for high bc Bullets simply mean bullets not following those requirements are not going to shoot as well at LR. Mono's is a different ball of wax, the issue with them is getting them to open well at all and only a very small few of the manufacturers have really mastered that. Peregrine bullets out of S. Africa has done that better than any of the other manufacturers so they tend to be my "GO TO" bullet noting that for me a shot much farther than 600-800yds is rare. [/QUOTE]
