[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 150611, member: 4785"] Hi it all depends on the game if it is feral goats and pigs under 300 yards the old lead cored copper jacket hollow or soft points with pure lead work beautifully as they realy open up and flattern the game the budget cheepest projectiles i find work the best no hard alloys and no bonding you can use them in the magnums if you go the heavy for calibre way. The thing i will pay for though is an accurate long range projectile projectile manufacturing has come a long way and is allowing us to shoot further than before but as with the close ranges the Match Bullets are still the best. As for the solid coper projectiles my opinion is they are only good for one thing that is real heavy game like bufalo and other game that might bight back and are very big that penetration is everything. But saying that a good quality FMJ like a hornady steel jacket projectile will work as well as anything. I am going to use the Wildcats in 338 for my long range rifle as i wil be shooting past 1000 yards with it so in that situation it is worth every cent for the long shots and i am also going to try them against MAtch Kings for my Target SHooting to see if their is an advantage there because i want to win.
