[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1622339, member: 102653"] Ok, seems everyone just jumped to the "personal recommendation" phase, and skipped right over the title of the thread, and your last paragraph. There is a reason for this, as many have sought the same as you, and a good portion of them ended up in the 215 Berger Hybrid Target, H1000, camp, pretty much going back about 7 years now. If you are interested in what procedure to follow, anything you can come up with that will get you where you want to be will work . These are the steps in the process I use: Define what it is I am trying to accomplish and how I intend to achieve it. (I want a bullet with so much energy, it'll run right up next to whatever I'm shooting with it out to 800 yards and say BOOO! and the animal will be dead right there.) Research what worked for others in similar situation. (I usually don't come out and ask on a forum. There are people in this industry and this hobby that I trust, so I look to them. Again, I don't usually ask, I dig in to research it.) Research data pertinent to my goals. (For example, in your bullet quest, I would be looking at BC, bullet weight, jacket material, ballistics drop tables, energy vs range,etc.) Narrow the field by what works in my rifle. (Doesn't matter what the latest whiz bang shiny precious is capable of, if it doesn't shoot out of my rifle.) Using what I know and have learned through research, to attempt to obtain suitable, repeatable results that meet or exceed my original definition. If I were you, I'd be looking to the 220 -230 class bullets if you can push them fast enough. [/QUOTE]
