[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 37171, member: 8947"] Bullets I would suggest are heavy weights for calibre. hornady SST, Interbond and AMax, Nosler Ballistic tip and Accubond, Matchkings. I have not played with VLD bullets from Berger or Wildcat, etc so will not comment. Impact vel is the most critical factor is determining bullet. Running data through a ballistics program will give you an idea of how slow the bullet is going at you intended ranges. The bullets named above really work down to around 1400fps. They could be irratic at expansion below that so do some expansion tests by shooting into water filled milk jugs at LR. One main reason why we use the largest calibre and heaviest bullet for LR hunting. You can't always rely on expansion so a big caliber and heavy bullet works even with little to no expansion.
