[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1139181, member: 10291"] Bryan, Over the past few years I have read all your books and have experienced major improvements in my long range proficiency, and particularly my LR hunting success. Thanks!!! While I do a lot of long range target shooting/competition, my primary application is long range hunting. I think the area of greatest need is a more comprehensive understanding of bullet construction and design relative to performance on game. I personally believe that raw energy/velocity values, while a good guideline, do not dictate the optimum choice in an effective hunting bullet. Of late there have been numerous threads that claim wide variations in a particular bullets performance on game. Some claim meplat modification is the answer, some don't. Some get excellent results from a specific bullet on game, some don't. I have my own "go to" bullet that I have used exclusively with success for my long range shooting. This is after finding other highly recommended bullets that have worked well for others, ineffective on game I have shot. While I realize that no two shots on game are identical, and this makes it difficult to draw exact conclusions, there is a lot of room for improved knowledge and understanding. IMO. [/QUOTE]
