[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1479147, member: 75933"] for closer range I'd go with a mono for sure. out past 2-300, take your pick, there are lots of good bullets out there that will perform very well. I think a good bonded bullet will help you avoid meat loss. I've taken a couple caribou with the 143ELD-X and didn't have a single pass through at approx 250-350yds. they fragmented inside them with a MV of 2750. But they killed, no tracking necessary. I my whitetail woods, I'll keep a mono chambered with a good LR bullet in the bottom of the mag or close by in the stock pack. At woods range, the mono hits plenty close to the same POA to justify its use. I'm positive that has saved me meat over the years. [/QUOTE]
