As an addendum, since expansion at low velocities isn't exactly the Barnes' strong point, perhaps he should be thinking of a high-quality cup-and-core bullet (which, incidentally, function very well at 2800 fps and below) as his "do everything" choice - like the Accubond or the Partition?

I know it wasn't the question, but that's what I chose for my 30-06, since it seems to have a decided preference for 150gr bullets.
