[QUOTE="SRHeer, post: 1261320, member: 61077"] because if I am not mistaken the disadvantage of a round nose bullet not being as aerodynamic as a spitzer is minimized coming out of the likes of a 300 Weatherby case - that elk cow that I shot with 7-08 at close to 10 yards would not have acted like it did had it been with a 160 RN - and if I have a scope that I adjust for bullet drop then medium range shots with RN out to like say 400 yards should not be a problem - should it? I have never tried a shot over 400 yrds - also does not the design of the RN lend itself to greater felt shock and with Weathery mag - penetration should not be a problem. [/QUOTE]
