[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1639184, member: 60453"] "Terminal Ballistics Research" is a site based in New Zealand run by a researcher and outfitter who will tell you about the heavier bullets, and why they are more effective at distance. The more mass the bullet has the more penetration it will deliver at distance. I'm a fan of the 180 to 200 grain bullets because in a 30-06 or .300 WinMag, it can be pushed fast enough to have a good trajectory and retain velocity, penetration and energy sufficient to get rapid kills on big game. I'm a fan of IMR4350 because it will work in both cartridges and produce respectable velocities with all the 180gr. and 200gr. projectiles that I have on hand. And I just ordered 700 Sierra Gameking 200 grain factory seconds for these rifles through Midway. I can't afford the Gameking 200grain bullets very much normally. But I'll work up loads with these and then maybe shift to the high priced spread after I get them right. I'll probably use IMR4350, and I'll post results afterward. [/QUOTE]
