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="Quintus, post: 2403839, member: 67552"] There have been some perfect bullets created, but the bar continues to move. Not all that long ago there were no range finders in every hand and the ballistic app was not a thing, or any app for that matter. Published hunting articles called 400 yards iffy and anything longer just irresponsible. Good terminal performance required controlled expansion and an exit, but not "too big" of an exit. This is why the Nosler Partition was the gold standard for so long. Other than the cost they were perfect to 400 yards. Before long with the way technology has propelled us, there will be more perfect bullets, but they won't be perfect for long because we will figure out how to stretch them beyond their capability. And of course, perfect bullet performance is subjective. Some like to track the 60 yard death run and some don't mind gathering up the pieces as long as they drop on the spot. We live in a glorious age of great bullets right now, if you can find them. [/QUOTE]
