The NP is a good bullet with reasonable BC.

The GS is a good Cup-n-Core with a modest BC.

... and the venison and pork taste the same.


For 600 yards, the fast-twist 150 and 165 ABLR looks promising, but then, getting closer is the challenge, not the shot.

I am unclear how much hunting you actually do, but it's often the case that you can not get closer to the game without significantly increasing the risk of being seen or simply that getting closer will result in a worse angle or an unclear shot at the game. With the hogs, because of their poor eyesight you can often get closer if the wind is right, but deer, antelope and sheep are a different proposition.

Hut a lot - just not from a portable bench, or on my belly from a mat with a bipod.

Making excuses for poor fieldcraft does not mean someone else couldn't get closer.

And, on a very rare occasion, a shot is passed up.

Hunting is like that.

Well, it seems you know everything there is to know about stalking, marksmanship, ballistics, cartridges and rifles.
