I have very mixed feelings on this. There is just no perfect bullet that does well up close and offers high performance way down range. That said, I like the 225 Nosler ACCUBONDS for large game up close and to medium ranges. Then I like the 300 grain Hybrid from Berger. For smaller targets like deer and sheep I will use the Bergers for all ranges. There is enough material there to get the job done even if it comes apart up close and offers little drift for the long haul.
For very large game up close I dont trust the Bergers. They have come completely apart on moose up close with no major bone contact. I would be scared to death to see what a Berger would do on a shoulder bone in a moose at 100 yards. Hence the 225 ABs.
BTW, I am running the 300 Hybrids at 2725 FPS.
