[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2394243, member: 11101"] I agree with this, because of the higher impact velocity at the closer ranges. I've pushed bullets too fast for their intended impact velocity and have had them perform poorly on game. For fast shooting rifles where I KNOW I won't be shooting at any distance, I have switched to Barnes bullets. Just because I developed a load for the rifles with them before Hammer bullets hit the market. A 7mm 180g Berger works great on elk at an impact velocity at 2015 fps. Half dollar sized exit on a broadside shot behind the shoulder, just under the spine. Never took a step. You probably could develop a load with those bullets that fit in the magazine. [/QUOTE]
