I'm researching a hunting load for my new Disc Elite 45. It seem like there are a few camps:

1) Push a light bullet fast. Like a Speer Deep Curl 40/180. I've actually bought some 200 grn Harvester Scorpions which I believe will perform about the same.

2) Use a heavy conical over 300 gns. I've never used conicals only saboted bullets and don't know anything about them.

3) How about something in the middle? I see Precision Rifle has a Dead Center bullet for the 45 which weight in at 260. There a little spendy but I could live with it if they're the best load.

I hunt in West Kansas and scopes are legal and a longer shot is not out of the question.

The simplest thing would be to have confidence in Speer or Scorpion. Since neither has has a ballistic tip, I wonder about long range accuracy and hitting power. I can always dial down my effective range but would hate to let one walk if I can make an ethical shot.

Thoughts?
