Do the Spire points perform better out to longer ranges? I'm thinking 300 yds will be about the max for me. I'll be shooting them out of a BLR with a 20 inch barrel.

We like to see how close we can call the moose in, that is the rush for us. We usually bow hunt, and the ranges are usually a few yards to a few feet. This is our groups first rifle hunt for them. I shot one with a rifle on my own in 2001. If I'm lucky, I'll be putting powder burns on them.
