The current obsession with LR shooting and high BC bullets has reached the point of absurdity. Within reason, most properly constructed spitzers have a high enough BC for any shooting out to 500-600 yards. And frankly, I'm of the opinion that shooting BIG game past that is more about operator ego than anything else. It sure as hell isn't hunting.
True. I also think that at reasonable ranges, a good 130-ish bullet will do just fine, too, and fit very well into the casing.
I really have a hard time wanting to use target bullets for hunting big animals. It just don't fit! Just my opinion, though.
