Taco280AI:

I kinda sorta do that, but not really. I shoot a 30-06 and use two loads that produce the same trajectory.

When I'm hunting elk in Colorado or something else in Alaska, I use 180 grain Nosler Partitions with high energy powder (62 grains RL22, 2,820 fps). When I'm hunting deer or pronghorns I use 150 grain Sierra Game Kings (51 grains IMR4320, 2,850 fps). The lighter bullet has less mass so it starts out faster but slows down sooner. The result is a trajectory that has the same POI from 100 yards to 300 yards.

I do most of my practice at 200 yards but also shoot at 100 and 300. The POI is the same at all ranges.

I subscribe to the K.I.S.S. theory so I've never considered trying to switch loads in the middle of a hunt.
