For myself only I am 200 yard shooter max - that is my self imposed limit. Next the chances of getting a decent 200 yard shot are really remote in Idaho - well where I hunt. I would bet my average shot over 40 years of hunting is 60 yards max.

I have absolutely no need to shoot a point type bullet from a ML unless it were a Nosler, Barnes, or and hopefully the Lehigh.

I need a bullet that will perform equally well from 20 yards to 200 yards at what ever velocity it has at the time of impact. The SST/SW and most other pointy bullets to do not give that luxury. I would almost bet I could get better performance from a 300 Speer Gold Dot at impact over those ranges than i would from most any pointy SST/SW that can be shot from a ML. If we were to talk CF - then I could handle a Pointy Nosler or Barnes.

Granted the Pointy's have better ballistics but it is the performance at the POI that I looking for.

Just my thoughts - but then again I am old fashioned.
