[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 909802, member: 30902"] I would, they get awfully explosive at magnum velocities and have much, much lower bc's. The 150gr Sirocco and 154 gr Interbond's are where I bet you'll see good performance/accuracy and great performance on game. At 300yds plus the Hornady SST is a good choice too but again, at magnum velocities they seem to be pretty explosive at closer ranges. I hate to see a whole I can stick my fist through on the back side of an animal, or worse one limping off to die because a bullet is traveling well beyond it's optimal velocity when it hits and doesn't penetrate. I would certainly avoid going lighter than the 139/140gr bullets unless the heavier offerings just won't perform in your barrel. [/QUOTE]
