[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 518195, member: 10444"] You are getting a lot of advice here, sometimes it can be too much. To 500 yards you don't need the highest bc bullet. I shoot and like the berger, but it is likely harder to load for than most. Don't feel the need for the highest tech or most expensive bullet. Any 7mm mag can put any bullet up to 160 grains downrange to 500 yds with plenty enough speed/energy for even the biggest muley. At 500 yards you don't need sub moa performance either. Now I'm not saying the most expensive bullets or .50 moa performance is bad, just not necessary here. While others would argue with me, and I have no experience hunting with them, I would not go for bullets like the AMAX or Sierra Match King(SMK) that are primarily target bullets. For what you want I would take a bullet with a little more solid construction and a little higher probability performance. I myself drew a good late season tag and the last thing I want is bullet failure. [/QUOTE]
