[QUOTE="Jared2700, post: 1590387, member: 102752"] At 100yds to 200yds, I don't think it really matters what 150 grain expanding bullet you use. The point of the matter is shot placement. Of course the more shock wave you have, the better kill you get. When you mess up and miss a little. But any bullet that is expanding at this range will work, as long as it's accurate and your a decent shot. I put my money on Barnes, Nosler, Sierra, and then Mabe Speer or Remington Core-Lokts. They will all get the job done if put in the proper place. Even the cheapo Core- Lokt... Just shoot, what shoots good in your gun. And be happy! Reload some of each. Test them in ballistics gel and see which one of them makes the largest wound channels. For me I prefer Barnes first second Nosler and then Sierra Game Kings if I'm going to use lead bullets and not copper. I really like Nosler ballistic tip bullets as well. I have shot Hornady too. My first preference is for my animal to hit the dirt right where, or a few feet of where I shot them. Quick clean kills, inflicting as much damage as possible without ruining a bunch of meat. That is why I choose Barnes bullets. You don't have lead fragments going all over the place causing blood shot meat. I like to eat my animals.
