Boattails unless the rifle like FB better.

For deer sized gameI shoot Nosler Ballistic Iips, 150 gr provides the best groups in my 7mm rem mag and has worked to take this game out past 400 yards.500 yards may not be considered long but it is the upper end of my confidence and ability under field conditions. Eveh as such it needs to be close to a picture perfect situation where I have favorable conditions, solid hold and positive angle presented by the animal. No texas lung or head shots for this fella!!

For larger game I have never really needed distance beyond 300 yards, in fact most have been shot 200 or under. WhereI elk hunt a long shot could easily materialize on the big agriculture fields that line the valley bush where the elk call home. Though the routes to these sources are where I situate myself and in most case finding more than 100 yards in staging areas of the dense valley brush is not easily done. Prior I stuck with flat based bullets mostly the Nosler Partition b/cmore concerned withterminal performance and pentration.The past 2 years I have gone with the TSX BT as it is more accurate in my rifle, ithasbeen excellent forthe elk and moose I have harvested.
