[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1836221, member: 109378"] Barnes LRX and Nosler Accubond LR. They shoot great out to 1000 yds and kill stuff near and far. They have acceptable BC and really hold together. I've never Drank the Kool-Aid on Hammer or other bizzaro bullets for "long range". Just not necessary IMO, especially if you take heart shots or other good shots in the vitals. I have on my desk a 180 gr Barnes TTSX from my .300 Wby that went through a Kudu 70 yds away at 3200 fps (about 3100 by there), quartering away shot, went in just behind the left ribs, then through the heart and lodged in the opposite right shoulder. The remaining weight is 120 gr. Close range, high velocity impact with exceptional penetration. Had a 145 gr Barnes LRX from a 7mm-08 at 2844 MV go through and through, heart shot on Mule Deer at 475 yds, DRT shot--not a long, long range but a good wound channel exiting demonstrated good opening at around 2K velocity. Bottom line, G1 BC over .5 and solid copper or bonded bullet will get 'er done on both ends in my experience. I love this website and shoot long range but usually keep my animal shots to 500 or less...why shoot a game animal at 800 yds? Can't you get any closer or find another animal? [/QUOTE]
