[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2476574, member: 30902"] My first question is what reasonably is the farthest distance you're confident of making a one shot kill? I'm not generally in the camp of shooting the longest, heaviest, highest BC bullet necessarily but if you're planning to shoot more than 500yds the extra BC does help even if it costs you velocity on the front end. That being said I'd work up loads for either one or both and just see what it likes the best and go from there loading up a fair number of rounds not only for this hunt but for the future. As a rule I like to keep 100 rds ready to go for each of the Rum's and the 375Rug, and STW's, and a couple of hundred each for the smaller cases. [/QUOTE]
