[QUOTE="toddc, post: 737143, member: 4566"] It amazes me the attitudes people have towards bullets. I can assure you that most of the guys on here who whine about one brand or another werent reloading(or shooting) 35 years ago. Premium bullets were for cape buffalo not elk. No bullet will kill every animal perfectly every time at every range. No bullet no matter how MAGICAL it is will perform well if you throw common sense out and pick the wrong caliber and weight. Now bullets are manufactured and marketed so that hunters buy a BRAND and not a well picked bullet. This is LR so use a high bc/sd slug driven as quick as you can and if it is sized per caliber and weight it will be deadly. Everyone on here should go back and read some articles written before we started using unobtanium in bullets to figure how to correctly size a bullet per the game hunted. Occonnor,Keith and those old farts new a bit about killing stuff. The idea that its the DESIGN of the bullet that kills has infected our sport, its the sd of a bullet that determines more than anything what it will do. A 200gr 308 cal made by a 12 yr old child from lead wheelweights in a garage will kill the heck out of whatever and yet a $7 super titanium turbo copper shredder axe murder bullet that weighs 70grs in a 243 will not. Pick out the right weight then worry about the darn model, nosler berger barnes etc. [/QUOTE]
