[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 574769, member: 34818"] Anyone can answer this, I want anyone to answer. If you guys shoot LR, you are saying it is say beyond 700 and that is why you use the AMAX. I perfectly understand why you use those and the SMK for those ranges. BUT do you really believe those bullets are going to work well at close ranges under 400? If you see a trophy elk or deer at 100 yds are you able to use those bullets actually thinking that they are going to do the job reliably or do you just pass on the shot? I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't use them but if you go to take that shot and you have second thoughts about your bullet working at that close of a range, should you take the shot? I know that I wouldn't. Most of you say that you are LR shooters and that is why you use these target bullets for hunting because at long ranges you like the bullet that does the job at low velocities. Like i said, I get it. I just don't believe they will reliably do the job at close range at high velocities. What you should be saying is that you are a close range and long range shooter but I know you wouldn't pass up a trophy at 100 yards. I have not used the AMAXes nor would I because that thought of that 100 yard trophy running off wounded and die and me not finding it would be in the back of my head. Also the Berger and AMAX are not made the same so you can't really argue those. I guess the real question is, what is the happy medium bullet? [/QUOTE]
