[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2944597, member: 122164"] For ranges here in the South, std Sierra cup and core, hornady cup and core, Mid to Heavy for caliber SST, all do an incredible job. Light for caliber partitions are beyond awesome in terminal performance, just ask anyone that has shot 270 with 130g partitions at 3000, 30/06 with 150g Partitions., 6mm/243 win with 95-100g Partitions, and any number of 25 calibers with 100g Partitions that proved to be 1/2" bullets. In the various 6.5s, 129g Hornady Interlock has proven to act exactly like a partition up to 3150 fps. If you like an LRAB, the Mid to heavy for caliber, they will impress in how fast they put a deer on the ground. Some of the LRAB are worth building a rifle around, but not all of them, and I consider them a much better bullet than a burger due to penetration and massive tissue damage....best of both worlds. Large Hogs make for a great test medium at some distance. If I had to pick one bullet for penetration and expansion, the 165g Hornady flat base is incredible. Lever powder in the 308 gets this to incredible velocities with extremes in accuracy if you are an advanced reloader. [/QUOTE]
