[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1811640, member: 108965"] There are several bullets like the ELD-M, A-Max and some Bergers that are deaigned for competition, however when several hunters tried them, many of them in this forum they've proven they work great for hunting at long range. The bullets do have an issue, the fragment (blow up or blow apart) at close range shots when pushed at magnun speeds and fail to penetrate and they provide a slow kill where on cases animals have been lost. I've witnessed this first hand on a coues deer shot by a friend, hit on the shoulder under 100 yds, deer ran off and took us all day to track him down and the finish it off. Heavy for caliber bullets work best but can still fail at close range. This was mentioted before on this thread, here some great info on Effective Game Killing by Nathan Foster, it explains a lot of how bullets work. You can also browse his website for cartridge and bullet reaearch [URL]https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/Effective+Game+Killing.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
