[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2815495, member: 122164"] Agree Calvin, the Barnes at speeds and distances we hunt at make a mess on white tails which means dead deer quickly. Having said that, I have not drank the Kool Aid on copper bullets. I killed two bull elk with the Then NEW 140g nosler ballistic tips out of the 7 mag and they flopped when hit at a dead run. Up to that point, we killed 7 Elk with a 7/08 with 140g Sierra flat base. We know our limitations, and shoot when we can put the bullet where it should go. My Brother and I were talking about how we killed all those deer with the crappy BC speer bullets? Speer Hot Cores have worked well for us on short range, 350 yds and under. I will repeat it again, having got caught short a couple of times where our favorite bullet could not be had, we hope to not be there again. However, here we are with half a dozen bullets we love that are just magic killing bullets that can not be found. These shortages are horrible, and I fear that we have not seen the worst of it.
