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="257Tony, post: 2403522, member: 67337"] Why are Bergers not good for close range? I've seen a 6.5/140 VLD drop a Bull Elk with a frontal shot at 40 yards, and a 7mm/168 penetrate through a hind quarter and still get into the vitals on a going away shot at 100 yards. Both Elk died within eye sight of being shot, no need for pass throughs or blood trails. I'll admit, when I started guiding full time over a decade ago, I was very skeptical of people shooting "target bullets" at game. Since then, every hunting rifle I own gets loaded with a "target bullet". [/QUOTE]
